geschenkbox Yesterday I have played around with GIT and

merged the Linux kernel tree from Linus Torvalds
with the Orion sources from Marvell (i.e. patches for SheevaPlug and OpenRD)
added the Gentoo patches (distribution independent)
and those for USB displays and SDHC cards
and eliminated some harmless, but annoying warnings on ARM.

As I found the configurations of the other kernels for the SheevaPlug on the net a bit unfortunate, you can download my latest kernel flavour here:
sheevaplug-linux-2.6.32-rc5-mark.

Please find the merged Linux kernel sources at git.ossdl.de, along with the various configurations I run them with.
But, do me a favour and fetch the actual linux kernel from git.kernel.org and only the differences from my site – bandwidth.

Binhost: If you run Gentoo you can use my binhost for the SheevaPlug. I recommend you pull portage configurations from git.ossdl.de, the “arm” (or “wais-sheeva”) branch and/or set this in your /etc/portage/make.conf and it will spare you long compile runs:

1.FEATURES=

"ccache
parallel-fetch userfetch userpriv getbinpkg"

2.PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://binhost.ossdl.de/armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/"

I run a Gentoo overlay for all systems. You might consider using it, too. It contains Nginx with patches for the ARM (and MIPS, btw), PHP-FPM and Cyrus-IMAPd.
See http://git.ossdl.de/?p=ossdl-overlay.git;a=summary.
