Yes, zanggasse/h4000 is mine, shoud have said that :-) And yes, there's *one* module in there:

/lib/modules/2.6.7-hh0/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/acx/acx_pci.ko

but that's for the wireless chip (no, it's not working yet, someone has to figure out the right
gpios to power it up and then this driver might be tweaked to work with it), so it's not used anywhere.

I never got the framebuffer to work with anything newer than 2.6.7-hh0. And IIRC I applied Shawn's
patch, noting else. Then I started with a 'make ipaqpxa_defconfig' and then configuring the options
I needed.

I don't know if CONFIG_PCI_CONSOLE is really necessary, but I can't tell you any more, I'm no Linux
expert, just experimenting with the ipaq. You might want to ask these questions on kernel-discuss
mailing list, there's a lot more going on than here...

I'm sorry I'm not able to help, and as long as I don't have a working ipaq I can't do anything
productive here...
