Actually, the driver might not be built in at all, I had to disable some,
since they failed to compile, and I did not check for a while, if they
compile again. But why don't you log in via the network? My last boot of the
Amiga did not get my a login screen, last message was starting the crond.
But the machine was working fine, and I could work from the console.
CONFIG_FB_CIRRUS=m
# CONFIG_FB_PM2 is not set
CONFIG_FB_AMIGA=y
CONFIG_FB_AMIGA_OCS=y
CONFIG_FB_AMIGA_ECS=y
CONFIG_FB_AMIGA_AGA=y
# CONFIG_FB_CYBER is not set
# CONFIG_FB_VIRGE is not set
# CONFIG_FB_RETINAZ3 is not set
CONFIG_FB_FM2=y
If it is the cirrus driver, it should be available as a module. As for the
keyboard, I did not add the patch to use the old amiga keymaps yet. Too many
patches, I want to change only one thing at a time.

Just get it from linux-m68k CVS

Well, the compressed (smaller) kernel has to be uncompressed by amiboot
before it can be used. The it used the full memory of the uncompressed
kernel plus something extra, maybe the whole compressed kernel or even more.
Seems I can not build new kernels at the moment, my main machine has
troubles with it's ethernet connectivity, I am still hoping that it did not
like my rerouting of powercables and not broken hardware...
