Based on my own limited experience. 2.0.3x->2.3.28 work fine with Slink. Of course my machines arn't heavily loaded or specialized, so there could be some minor problem that just didn't crop up with my usage.
Its safe to say a 2.2.x kernel will work on Debian 2.1. In fact, I've got all my machines running 2.2.x at the moment.
