Hi,
   If there's a page somewhere that explains this issue, please direct me
there before you write a lot of stuff down. I just cannot find the answer in
Google.

   I am quite unclear in the Linux kernel build process how to keep multiple
versions of the same kernel on the system when they require different
/lib/modules directories? How do I build the kernel such that I end up with
something like

/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r6-ver1
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r6-ver2

and have the right directory associated with the appropriate kernel?

   I completely understand how to manage the bzImage file and grub to make
this work. I just don't get how to handle the modules part.

   Maybe I'm missing the point and somehow it can just be a single directory
with both version's modules in it, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
I'm not clear if this is a Gentoo issue or just a Linux issue in general.

   The problem being addressed here is that I _had_ a working kernel using
gcc3.2, but then went to gcc3.3 and lost the modules I needed for the 3.2
kernel image to work. I would have liked to keep them both.

Thanks,
Mark
