It certainly should work.

The best way is probably to get kernel sources for the newest kernel
(I suggest 2.2.12 or better -- 2.2.11 has a really bad flaw). Then
use kernel-package to build debs for the new kernel, and then install
them. The install manual talks about this.
BTW, potato should work with both 2.0.x and 2.2.x (and even 2.3.x)
kernels. It is *certified* with 2.2.x but that doesn't mean you have
to run that kernel.
