No, 2.0.35. 2.2.7 (self-compiled failed to boot, ditto 2.2.7 from .deb)

I can't put in the 2.2.7 kernel now, as tar complains of chown problems.
Summary:
libc2.1.1-2
kernel 2.0.35
Boots,
can't logon (Unable to change tty /dev/ttyp0: Success)
chown broken
libc2.1.1-2
kernel 2.2.7
Doesn't boot
I was thinking of running the preinst/postinst scripts myself, if libc6
2.2.1-3 is OK. In what order do I run libc 2.2.1-2 postrm / 2.2.1-3
preinst?
