SubjectQuestions about the new kernel

After reading the documentation included in the 2.2.1 kernel release the
following questions came to my mind:

1- Wich software must be recompiled against 2.2 kernel headers in order to
get complete functionality (Changes)

2- How can i update my /dev files, some minor and major nodes have been
changed. I know that i can use the devices.txt file but i will have to use
mknod and there are too many devices. Is there a script or some other
application to do this?

3- Do I still have to start kerneld at startup?. After reading kmod.txt
i think that
kerneld is obsolete cause the kernel will not call it anymore so load it
will be a loss of memory but the Changes file in the modules section says:

As of 2.1.90-pre1, kerneld has been replaced by a kernel thread,
kmod. See Documentation/kmod.txt for more information. The main
user-level change this requires is modification to your init scripts to
check for the absence of /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe before starting
kerneld.

So should I start kerneld or not???

4- Every time I start a ppp session modprobe says:

Feb 21 01:28:09 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
Feb 21 01:28:09 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-26
Feb 21 01:28:10 localhost modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-24

But i have searched all over the kernel documentation and configuration
and i can't see anything about this modules all i have seen is the line:

--- CCP compressors for PPP are only built as modules.

After the ppp-support option. How can i get this modules???

I hope anybody can help me with this.

Thanks for your help.
