You do not need to do this. The safest way to go about upgrading is
0) cd /usr/src
1) rm linux
2) tar -xzvf linux-2.2.1.tar.gz
3) mv linux linux-2.2.1
4) ln -s linux-2.2.1 linux
Your old kernel source tree will be intact. The old modules will remain
in /lib/modules/2.0.36 and you may use either kernel.
