This results in a broken system. Broken in that it will probably not run
with the 2.6 kernel, though the 2.2 kernel ought still work.
   

Works for me...
You will learn a lot more about Linux kernels by installing and configuring 
one then you ever will by apt-get installing.
 


There are minimum requirements for any kernel, and if you don't meet 
those requirements you should expect problems. Maybe not immediately.

eg You must have the correct version of your filesystem utilities. Their 
lack may result in anything from impared performance to actual 
filesystem damage, maybe when you do a filesystem checj.
eg If you don't have the right modules management utilities, you can't 
manage (load/unload) modules.

The list goes on.
