I upgraded to 2.2.8 and found an interesting difference during start up.
My machine has 128 MB RAM. The 2.2.3 kernel issues the kernel message
Memory 63528/... k available ...
The 2.2.8 kernel said
Memory 128280/... k available ...
Though the 2.2.3 kernel obviously didn't recognize the memory during
startup properly, a top showed me the full amount of memory.
I guess that this difference between the two kernels is at least partially
responsibly for the kernel oops. Time will show :-/
