If you have two kernels and each kernel uses different modules than the
other, how can you tell what kernel to use for which module when booting
up. I guess I want like two /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 files, one
for each kernel. Anyone know how to do this type of setup or know where I
can find information to setup this up? Thanks.

Easiest will be to build those modules that differs into your kernels, as the
init system don't handle to have multiple modules load lists more than
determined on the minor version.

Another way to handle is to have coldplug/hotplug installed, then modules that
isn't loaded in the modules load list will be loaded.

Aho,
Sorry for a late reply (got sidetracked) to thank you for your tips.
I compiled support into the kernel instead of trying my module idea. Was
easier.

Need a different modules setup for each kernel?
