Ummm,
if you possibly can, try to set aside a small partition, say
300-900Mb depending on how thoroughly you would like to test,
then install 7 and rpm in the kernel You may need some ancillary
items, like more recent libs, but I am told by the traffic on
Cooker that it does seem to work.
LILO does let you boot more than one linux.... Each with
different root directories if you so choose.
But testing with 6.1 should also be possible--just rpm in the new
kernel and use linuxconf to set it up as bootable under a name
like "new_linux" Then run lilo and next time you start, type
LILO Boot: new_linux
And you should have 6.1 running with that kernel and be able to
test agpgart.o
And if you type nothing or linux at LILO Boot: you should be
running the same system with the kernel you originallly used for
6.1.
