im not sure what your talking about?
What im meaning is say i have a 2.4.xx kern and a 2.6.xx kern they both are
gonna excute /etc/modules and /etc/modules.conf but say i want differeent
modules for the different kernels (i dont want them excuting the same module
config file) so then would I just have to switch between the config files
ahead of time before i reboot to the toher kernel or is there a better way of
doing this?
Steve.
