2.2.2 works, 2.2.3 is reported to cause slight troubles, but 
will be supported in the next snapshot (probably next monday, 
may be even this week.) However, please be aware that it shouldn't do
much more than being compatible for the moment, however, the true
functionality will be enabled step by step now.

To force patching, invoke the second make (in kgi/Linux) as

make KERNEL_VERSION=2.2.0

This will force the scripts to apply the 2.2.0 patch, but may fail.
You have to check by hand for rejected hunks. A log of the patching
is in /usr/src/linux/*.err

Happy testing,
			Steffen

NOTE: It has still lots of debugging code enabled, (e.g. the splash screen)
This will be disabled in the final version.
