I've tried to dual boot RTL 3.0 over Linux 2.2.18 and RTL 0.9 over 2.0.36.
While I can boot both systems, I can't access (that is load) the modules in
the "2nd" system. [In this context, the first system is the one whose LILO
I've last run and the second system is the other.]
I'm almost positive that reconfiguring both systems to compile into the
kernel the various "common stuff" that I now have modular would probably get
around this problem, but that's not the way I wanted to use it.
When I boot the 2.2.18 I can mount the 2.0.36 but not conversely because
2.2.18 uses some fancy features.
