Hamm to Kernel 2.2.0

[Ruud de Bruin <ruud@dds.nl>]

I've downloaded yesterday from an Debbian mirror in the US a 2.2.0-pre1
kernel for Debian in .deb format. I've installed the kernel with dpkg to
give it a try.

The system booted up, but I've received a number of errors.

a) It seems that the initailisation of the COM ports is changed. I saw a
message during boot that something was wrong.

b) I could not find a way to access my ZIP drive (parallel). It seems that
ppa is not present anymore(?)

What changes should I made to a "standard" Hamm 2.03 system so I am able
to use a 2.2.0(Pre) kernel?

Regards, Ruud.
