I have used UYOK for very specific needs but that does not fit in this
case as I need to be able to use the same kernel in A LOT of different
configurations (not just the one in which it was made)...that is why I
still use the standard kernel with additions make to the kernel compiled
in options and/or initrd my_modules if needed.  This allows me to
maintain a single kernel/initrd that is replicated to all my remote
sites without having to maintain a lot of different kernels for
different kinds of machines that I may or may not ever have physical
access to.  This is why I am trying to get the kernel updated, so I have
access to a lot of the drivers necessary for HP that will not work on
older kernels.

P.S.  I am in the process of bringing up the trunk code and compiling
from scratch....in the off chance that I will need to do a global update
to all my servers...as I only have so much time I to get this out.

Have you tried using UYOK?  That way you shouldn't need to update the
SystemImager kernel:
