The modules for let's say 2.0.33 go in /lib/modules/2.0.33 and the modules
for 2.1.89 go in /lib/modules/2.1.89
The kernel knows where to look.
also do a man lilo.conf
that should explain how to set up multiple kernels. just
copy the corresponding section in lilo.conf for linux to a new entry, change
the label to whatever you want it to
be called at the LILO prompt, and point the image= tag to your new kernel
image.
