Aniruddha,
That will be no problem. The kernel will install in /boot and the
source will go in its own directory in /usr/src. I have 11 different
kernels and kernel sources available for booting on a openSuSE 10
server. Like Rajko says, what determines which kernel is "active" is the
sym links in boot that point to vmlinuz and the /usr/src/linux symlink
that points to the "active" kernel source tree. No tricks, just treats ;-)
