The 2.4.0test9 Changes file mentions the following and I'd like to know if after installing updated packages, if I'll still be able to use a 2.2.x kernel ok, or if I'll have to resort to initscript trickery:
Will the following work with 2.2.17 as well?
o util-linux 2.10o # kbdrate -v o modutils 2.3.15 # insmod -V o PPP 2.4.0 # pppd --version
I'm particularly concerned with the modutils 2.3.15. During the 2.0.x -> 2.2.x transition I was not able to use the same modutils with both kernels and had initscripts determine the kernel version, and uninstall the RPM and install the proper RPM for modutils.
I've not tried to dual boot (2.2.x/2.4.x) a system yet, so any help would be appreciated.
