I am sorry for your bad experience with Kontron.

I also understand it doesn't help you now if I tell you I'm sitting at
the source here and would have happily provided you with a preliminary
version of either a 2.4 or a 2.6 kernel for this board.

About the delay of the hardware, the eb8540 is a recent product, and
from a engineering point of view, you'll understand that marketing
people tend to hype products even when they're not quite ready for
large-scale production (which has changed as of this writing).

I am advocating a stronger orientation towards the linux community for
quite some time now, and it slowly seems to catch on, so please don't
give up on us yet!
