Anything suitable or adaptabel for iliad in there? Anybody any clue?
To compile for the iliad, it is
PXA2xx/PXA3xx-based

The ones you have mentioned are not compatible with the iliad.

But bear in mind that unlike the PC world, each ARM board is somewhat unique, so some adaptations will have to be made (similar to nalim's ones).

Best regards,
Antartica

Edit: what I meant is that the path to go is to forward-port nalim's patch to 2.6.31

The subarch that I gave earlier is very broad, see
http://kernel.xc.net/html/linux-2.6.31/arm/

Additionally, we can search on how the guys of openpandora got into mainline, their board was similar to beagleboard but not identical. That is, how they submitted the patches, etc.
