You will need to upgrade to Slink (Debian 2.1) for the new 2.2.x kernel.
Many of the packages in Hamm are too old. Take a look in
linux/Documentation/Changes for the required package versions.

You do not need to patch the new kernel for SoundBlaster AWE support.
The 2.2.x kernel uses the OSS drivers which come with it. Take a look in
linux/Documentation/sound/AWE32 for more info on setting up the new
driver.
Hope this helps.
