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! -- Stefan Nickl Kontron Modular Computers
