I've successfully used 2009q1-203 for kernel compilation.

That's always the problem with vendor-provided kernels, and that's why I 
always try to use a mainline kernel and get support for my boards upstreamed. 
It's not an easy task and often requires kernel development. You would 
basically need to port support for your board from 2.6.14 to a mainline 
kernel.
