I dual boot 2.2 and 2.4 kernels using current modutils without any problems, that is how I test my modutils changes. You should even be able to boot 2.0 kernels with modutils 2.3.18, as long as modutils was configured with --enable-compat-2-0. Systems using libc5.0 and need --enable-use-syscall in modutils, but that is automatically detected by modutils >= 2.3.15.

Details please. I have no outstanding bug reports on lack of backwards compatibility in modutils.
