They're started by cron itself. From 'man cron':
cron also reads /etc/crontab, which is in a slightly dif
ferent format (see crontab(5)). Additionally, cron reads
the files in /etc/cron.d; see the DEBIAN SPECIFIC section
below for more details.
They're crontab files, which means that they contain the information
that cron uses to decide how often to run them.

I had some trouble with 2.2.9. You should probably upgrade to 2.2.10
(which has a good reputation) or 2.2.13 (the latest stable kernel).
