kernel 2.2.0

I've been fighting the new kernel blues. I was for-warned that it
will not use the old serial port notation and made sure all of mine are in
the /dev/ttyS0 type. The first config I made used modules and it was a
total disaster! The new module loader I found was not even compiled! I
found the source code in a /linux/ directory.

So I re-compiled with zero modules and it still fails. It will not
run several applications including one in the ax25 group. The deman that
keeps track of heard stations will not run. For some reason I can't ping
or connect over the ax25 system. Nothing seems to work.

Has anyone got 2.2.0 working? What did you do for the module
problem?

I am back using 2.0.36 which runs fine and seems to work well. But
I am booting with a floppy. I want to use the new kernel.

Best wishes
