I compiled and installed this kernel and it has been running flawlessly and 
without the hiccups (BUG-backtraces, seemingly harmless) I got with 2.6.22. 
The following caveats:

1. Unionfs-source will not compile. This is common with kernel version changes 
and should be fixed when Debian posts their 2.6.23s. If you are dependent on 
unionfs, wait.

2. Nvidia drivers for older cards--I was using there 9631 version for an older 
Gforce-2 mx400 card. This would no longer compile. Updates are already on 
their site, I downloaded and installed, no problem.


All other ko's I usually recompile with kernel upgrades, kqemu, realtime-lsm, 
vboxdrv, squashfs-source all recompiled without problems.
