Oh, and I thought that development does mean something like progress.
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.
