I have an IGEPv2 board too, and Fedora 12 seems to run well. I'm using a prebuilt kernel which I "stole" from the NAND, and the rootfs from Fedora wiki. I'd like to run a native kernel though.
I'm not sure which is better. The linux-omap branch (from which ISEE take their kernel) has lots more support for the OMAP hw. But, yes, I'd rather see something closer to mainline if possible.
Maybe we can just apply relevant fedora patches to the omap branch. The important thing (IMHO) is to keep up with security updates and have a kernel config similar with the one of Fedora.
I think the issue is getting a stable set of patches against the Fedora kernel for each supported board. I tried rebasing some of the ISEE changes against a 2.6.32 but failed to get something meaningful.
Perhaps we could chat off-list and work out a good set of patches for the IGEP?
Good idea, I sent you a mail with my contacts.
