Update to kernel 2.6.22.2:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22.2

Disable asynchronous SCSI device scanning: fixes failure to
find root device on SCSI disk at boot time.

Fix failure to find serial ports on some machines.

Disable PCI MMCONFIG and MSI by default, can be overrideen
with new options "pci=msi" and "pci=mmconf".

Detect broken timers on some AMD dual-core machines: fixes
