If you're building your own image then set preferred provider in
conf/maching/om-gta02.conf:
# If you want to have KMS enabled in default kernel, uncomment
# linux-openmoko-shr-drm-devel
#PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel_shr = "linux-openmoko-shr-devel"
#PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel_shr = "linux-openmoko-shr-drm-devel"
#PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel_shr = "linux-openmoko-2.6.31"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel_shr = "linux-openmoko-2.6.32"

If you don't want to build own image/kernel then just wget uImage and
modules from
http://build.shr-project.org/tests/mrmoku/kms/images/om-gta02/
or
http://build.shr-project.org/tests/mrmoku/2.6.31/images/om-gta02/
update uImage link and unpack modules to /

(2.6.32 isn't built on shr buildhost yet..)

And 2.6.31+ isn't fully compatible with frameworkd, few issues can be
fixed by switching script here:
http://build.shr-project.org/tests/mrmoku/switch-for-kernel

All those kernels are suffering from WSOD during suspend.. at least for
me and other SHR devs, thats why they cannot be used by default and even
testing is a bit pain without non-stop power supply and suspend
disabled.

Cheers,
