I think you do, since there is an other thing you need to change at the same time... you have to add the -L parameter to every /sbin/installkernel %post script, ( it makes the installkernel not add/modify the symlinks in /boot), since currently if you install a main 2.4 kernel, and a 2.6 kernel from contribs, the initrd.img, vmlinuz, and System.map symlinks will point to the 2.6 kernel, making the lilo entries linux, linux-nonfb and failsafe all using the 2.6 kernel, wich will lead to a disaster... think of people trying to troubleshoot their system, and they are told to boot into failsafe -> they will be booting into an 2.6 test-kernel... Regards Thomas PS. Danny! I haven't checked how your kernel is doing this, but since it's an stable 2.4 kernel, the problem isn't that big, OTOH it's a contrib kernel, so I think the MDK people would like it better if you to would be doing this ... (I added the same to my kernels beginning with 2.4.22-1.tmb.1mdk), Sorry I forgot to mention this to you in my earlier mail...
