If I'd "develop" something "new" with last change 8 months ago, I guess my boss would not pay for that "development".
So what is the difference between kernel.org and montavista's tree for ML403. kernel.org is quite a bit ahead. Personally I'd recommend Denk's 2.6.19 tree (that's a 2.6.19 from kernel.org with some ppc specific patches, afaik) and patching the EDK 8.2 into it. That's quite a lot of work (I am just doing that at the moment) but that's the only way to get an up-to-date system. Currently my partner and I are working on building a minimalistic sound driver and in some future release a ALSA compliant sound driver and a new controller (with at least DMA support) as this is can still not be found in MontaVista.
