 2.1.x are the development kernels and only mean for developers and
 those want to stay on the bleeding-edge (and willing to pulling their
 hair-out when needed). You CANNOT just download the tar ball and
 compile it with 2.0.x tools, you need to upgrade a lot of tools that
 work with 2.1.x kernel (I'm not quite sure which one, please check
 it out yourselve). Also, development kernel can be vary unstable and
 buggy. Unless you know what you're doing and want to contribute to the
 kernel development, you should stick with 2.0.x kernel. 8)
