Andrew; I suppose that my first thought would be to BIOS differences... Have you already checked for "memory holes" and "shadow memory"?
What is the size difference between the two kernels? While I am ignorant of the majority of the differences between 2.0- and 2.2- kernels is there any chance that a change in the handling of the disk geometry by the BIOS affects the 2.2 kernel where the 2.0 might ignore the change?
