patch-2.2.0-19990127-1.gz is the latest, and first of the 2.2 kernels. It
should be ok on the EBSA285 (I haven't heard any complaints yet).

You can get the kernel messages out of the serial port. To do this, I add
to kernel/printk.c, just after va_end(args) in printk():
printascii(buf+3);
However, keep an eye in arch/arm/kernel/head-armv.S around line 410, since the
debugging code needs to be correctly configured for the machine you're actually
booting (since an EBSA285 kernel can be booted not only on EBSA285 but on
Netwinder, and the serial port hardware is significantly different).
NOTE! This code is only meant to be used by people who hack the kernel. Please
don't attempt to optimise it.
