how to keep 2.4 and 2.6 kernels simultaneously



I am using Debian/unstable and recently instlaled kernel 2.6.6. Now on my system I have three kernels, viz., 2.4.20-bf2.4, 2.4.26-1-686 and 2.6.6-1-686.

The problem is that 2.4 and 2.6 kernels have different set of modules to load, for example for usb 2.4 uses the module usb-uhci.o but 2.6 uses uhci-hcd.ko. But the /etc/modules file not versioned!

So is there any method by which the system can load appropriate modules when booting with kernel 2.4 or 2.6? The problem is that there is only ONE /etc/modules for all kernels!!

Thanks
JSS
