boot into the old 2.4 kernel and have everything work as before. Is there a way to have entries in these files be conditional on the kernel version?
It looks like you can. /etc/modules.conf is automatically generated, so don't edit it directly. Instead, you manipulate the files in /etc/modutils. In my current /etc/modutils/aliases file I see:
# IDE modules changed names in 2.4.22 if KERNEL_VER >= 2.4.22 alias ide-mod ide-core alias ide-probe-mod ide-detect endif HTH! -Gabriel
