it is certainly possible. The problem is everytime you compile the modules it will clear the modules directory and only install those modules which are necessary. So you can say, you compile the monolithic first and the modular second. But even then you have to be careful,all the exported symbols are kept in the system.map file. Now if it gets hold of any symbol associated with a module it will try to load it. So make sure you use the correct system.map for each kernel version. A slightly more tricky case is when you want to have 2 different modular kernels of the same version. Then you have to make sure that the modules do not get erased. You can move and copy them back. ( easiest is to tar and untar them ). A problem still remains with the modules.dep, which lists the interdependancy of the modules. THis file has to be merged. > monolithic.
