You should be able to check out the latest sources from git:// git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git You will probably also need a newer u-boot from here: git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot-mpc85xx.git Please tell me if you have any problems using these.

I > would like to update our Kernel version to a more recent version. I am not sure about the exact versions but you propably need to switch over from devfs to udev. (usually no big deal) > I would greatly appreciate if you could provide me with some general > guideline on how to proceed ..... I follow the latest stable and latest-git from kernel.org. I didn't run into major problems over here for MPC8540, however I am still on the old ARCH=ppc. ARCH=powerpc compiles fine as well. I just had no time to have a closer look at the DeviceTree/OpenFirmware/U-Boot stuff. Is there any brief HowTo migrate from ppc to powerpc including u-boot?
