I *think* 2.0.36 is a kernel version that also/already understands the new
device nodes. When I upgraded my Debian 2.0 system (running kernel 2.0.36 if
I'm not mistaken) to kernel 2.2.x I did NOT have to update the device nodes
(except from /dev/console as I learnt these days.) However my ancient
Slackware 2.1(?) system needed to be upgraded.
