No, the website doesn't really mirror the dist as well as it would lead 
you to believe.

I downloaded their dist a couple of days ago, hoping to use the ColdFire 
5275 USB as a reference, but there is no such beast.  As for 8260, I 
just looked for file names:
uClinux-dist\linux-2.6.x\arch\ppc\8260_io
uClinux-dist\linux-2.6.x\arch\ppc\platforms\est8260.h
uClinux-dist\linux-2.6.x\arch\ppc\platforms\rpx8260.h
uClinux-dist\linux-2.6.x\arch\ppc\platforms\sbs8260.h
uClinux-dist\linux-2.6.x\arch\ppc\platforms\tqm8260.h
uClinux-dist\linux-2.6.x\arch\ppc\platforms\tqm8260_setup.c
There may be more.  The platforms files provide board specific macros 
and contact info for people who might have a better read on I vs 
II....which really shouldn't be an issue should it?  If the machine code 
hasn't changed, then I'd think the only thing you'd need to worry about 
would be the specifics of your board. Then again, they do love to change 
the peripherals all the time.
