http://www.openembedded.org/repo/org.openembedded.dev/conf/machine/h2200.conf
tells me that h2200 models use the linux-handhelds-2.6 kernel in
Ångström, which can
be found at cvs://anoncvs:anoncvs@anoncvs.handhelds.org/cvs/linux/kernel26.
The vanilla kernel most probably doesn't have h2200 support at all.
(http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=commit&s=h2200).
