2.2.x kernels are "release" kernels.  2.3.x kernels are "development" kernels. 
In the 2.3.x kernels new features can suddenly appear, and new bugs.
2.3.8 has a particularly bad reputation for losing data from hard drives. I
recommend that you use 2.2.11 unless you really know what you are doing.

Make your kernel with "make-kpkg" from the "kernel-package" package and you
won't have this problem.  Using Debian packages of kernels is the best way to
do things.  It's the best thing to hit kernel building since "make menuconfig"!
