Depending on board hardware-compatibility, it's best to use the latest U-Boot
release from: ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ or the latest
git-tree: http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=summary

I am fine (for mpc8540 and mpc8548) with Linus' 2.6.24 tree from kernel.org.
For development purposes, however, checkout the latest paulus.git from:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git;a=summary
YMMV.

For a toolchain, you can go with the Denx' ELDK or use my native CRUX
Linux distro which will be published, when I'll find some spare time. :-)
