How to obtain Debian rootfs for my board?



Hi All,
i have TS7800 board, it contains arm processor.
The board is shipped by linux kernel 2.6.21 & rootfs on its flash memory. both of kernel image & filesystem binaries are built by gcc3.4.

Now i am upgrading the kernel of the board to 2.6.29.5 which in turn must be built by gcc4.3 i have successfully done this step but when i tried to use this new kernel image with the old filesystem i got the following error message:

INIT: Id "T0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel

first i doubt the serial driver of my board, but i think it has no problem because the output of kernel booting is printed on serial console ttyS0 normally.
so i only have a doubt in the filesystem binaries, for sure they have been built using gcc3.4 while my new kernel is built by gcc4.3 so this may be the cause of the error so i decided to install simple debian rootfs for my board from scratch? How can i do this? is there any simple guide to do this?

i just need the minimal requirements of rootfs for my board? or did i have a wrong guess towards the previous error that i have mentioned above?


thanks for your help
