I believe that sdimage-new.dd actually has 3 (or 4?) partitions. The
kernel should be put onto partition 2. I'm not sure how partition 2
shows up on your machine when the SD card is mounted. I do something like:

dd if=sdimage-new.dd of=/dev/sdb

to put the image onto the sdcard, and then

dd if=arch/arm/boot/Image of=/dev/sdb2

to put the kernel onto partition 2.

As a final step, once the SD card has booted, on the SD card I do

|chown -R root:root /lib/modules/2.4.26-ts11/|

copy the System.map from the kernel source directory over to the SD card
and do

depmod -a -F System.map

Compile the kernel
* make dep

Step 6: updating sd card

dd if=arch/arm/boot/Image of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 no error

Step 7: umount sd card
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1

Step 8 : insert sd card, then minicom, then power on ts 7260
the minicom keeps repeating these three lines:
>> TS-SDBOOT - built Aug 10 2009

.

I am using a empty 1 GB sd card with one partition.

Could anyone gives some suggestions? Thanks very much.
