Not sure specifically if there's a CD error in 2.2.14, though I *did*
run into a smbfs conflict.

However, kernels in the range 2.2.13(?) - 2.2.16 have known root-level
exploits.  2.2.17 is strongly recommended.  The other alternative may be
to fall back to 2.0.38 or thereabouts, which may lack some functionality
but is a solid and dependable kernel AFAIK (if anyone knows differently,
speak now).
