I'm running 9.0 with the 8.2 kernel with no problems (in fact I'm doing this because 9.0 kernel was giving me problems).Can previous version kernels be used in 9.0 without problems? In other words, can you simply install the 8.2 kernel files into a 9.0 box? What about the 2.2.x kernel from a 8.2 disk? Are there other packages that depend on the kernel that would need to be brought in?
It's a 2.4 kernel anyway. With older kernel there could be problems with some userspace utilities, but I didn't test that. You can install as many kernels as you want though (with a little lilo/grub tweaking) and if one doesn't work you can simply boot another one.
