Glad you asked!  You're not the only one - I got the same thing when I
compiled the 2.2.1 kernel and tried to run it.  I certainly hope someone
responds to this.

Did you know that you also have to replace referenes to your /dev/cua devices
by references to /dev/ttyS devices?  (Doing so doesn't affect this problem,
though.)
