Normally, you shouldn't need to change anything. The kernel doesn't care about device names, it only looks at the major/minor device numbers in the inode. I don't know exactly which device names have changed, but it should only affect you if you have some special hardware. (Devfs is a different issue, but you don't have to use that if you don't want to.) I expect a thorough reorganization of /dev during the 2.5 series, but the kernel gurus haven't yet decided on how to do this.

Yes, all the software that can handle 2.4 can also work with a 2.2 kernel. Woody is fully 2.4-ready (off course it also works for a 2.2 kernel). For potato, look for the packages Adrian Bunk has made.
