Herbert, can you make sure that we get a kernel-image-2.2.10 uploaded
which includes CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE?  This is needed for
boot-floppies, so the sooner the better.

(Aside to boot-floppies: I don't think an NMU for this would be out of
line if it helps boot-floppies development).

In an unrelated question, I think m68k is sticking with 2.2.10, but do
we intend to use 2.2.12 or better in potato?
