We are prepping a release for TO3, in the meantime anyone using a TO3 will have to live with the kernel shipped on the units. In the meantime PLEASE DO NOT use any of the kernels on PowerDeveloper for TO3 boards. There have been some design changes on the board between chip revisions which means the SD card slots have moved around, and some other minor but fairly important changes to the layout of the board and use of peripheral units which means booting a TO3 unit with a kernel made for TO2 is going to basically not operate at it's best. You can't burn it, but.. you will be annoyed :)
The release will come near the end of the week hopefully. The kernel on the boards is "2.6.31-008" which is Pegatron's revision. We are backporting our PowerDeveloper kernel with these changes, all the patches we pushed in, and have some problems with the new BSP which should be resolved fairly shortly. If you are desperate for a new kernel or want to help out testing you can contact matt at genesi-usa dot com.
* (FYI TO2 = Tape-Out 2, TO3 = Tape-Out 3, these are chip designations from Freescale which mark the chip revision based on what they send to the fab to be built)
