You need to run the 2.4.x kernel to get the latest support.  I have
2.4.0-test7 runing on the SBC8260, but 2.4.0-test8-pre1 panics during
startup.  I have been getting my kernels from the Linux/PPC BitKeeper
Repository at FSMLabs (http://www.fsmlabs.com/linuxppcbk.html).

For a nice packaged solution, I would go to MontaVista
(http://www.mvista.com/) and get the Linux Support Package from the
CDK version 1.2 (http://www.mvista.com/cdk1.2/) for the SBC8260.
