hi roger
not sure what the incompatibilities are....but simply
replacing the kernel might break some of your other
binaries...
- I've "broken" my old test rh-5.0 box with
linux-2.2.1 kernel
you need to upgrade your binaries and libs too....
to have a true linux-2.2 machine
http://www.linux-consulting.com/Linux-2.2/upgrade-2.2.pl
- to see what needs to change along with references
to other linux-2.2 docs
-
- I downloaded most of the sources you will be needing
to recompile under linux-2-2
For changing amd to autofs... please check:

have fun
