Copy /kernel to different name, say kernela, and then recompile kernel source containing changes and it will replace /kernel, then copy /kernel to different name, say kernelb. When you want to return kernela copy kernela to kernel and reboot. You will have to change the flag on /kernel before you

Re: booting a different kernel each time

I would recommend just making a new kernel that can support the hardware of either machine. To the best of my knowledge there would be no problem going back and forth. As for the modules, I wouldn't worry about it. I believe that as long as both kernels are compiled from the same source tree,

Hello, Suppose I want to build a kernel that will be stored in a file with a name that I chose instead of the usual /kernel. Is there a way to do that without manual file movements? I suppose this could interfere with the location of the modules somehow, but I don't know for sure. I would appre
