You must be kidding? I did the whole Atari 2.6.18 patching on aranym (the
testing, anyways). That includes atafb support (see patches posted here,
and at debian-68k). Not to mention keyboard, aranym networking, and a bit
more.

I asked Petr about this, it should be possibe. I haven't tried to find the
correct offset yet (should be the size of the partition table, ideally).

Right, the only caveat with such a kernel is that Atari partition format
needs to come before PC partition format in the list of formats tested on
boot (otherwise Atari partitions will be misparsed as illegal PC
partitions - incidentially, this might be why you could not mount the
disk).
