I have mandrake 10 with kernel 2.6.8 and am trying to install another kernel 2.4.22 is it possible, coz I'm seeing some comflicts on make bzImage (other commands needed to done before this have gone fine).

1. Yes you can do so!! only thing is make sure you are not upgrading the kernel . I would suggest you to do few things

   1) Download the 2.4 kernel source kernel say linux-2.4.6.src.rpm
   2) rpm -ivh linux-2.4.6.src.rpm
   3) then go to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
   4)rpmbuild -ba linux-2.4.6.spec

   it will create new RPMS on /usr/src/redhat/RPMS .

   Now go over ther and the
   rpm -ivh *.rpm please
   Note ::you shoudl not do rpm -Uvh *.rpm

   this will create another new kernel and then boot the system on booth prmpt select 2.4 kernel and get booted . incase still you have problem u can get my assistance at kshounish@yahoo.com

2. They're not compatible. You could try using them in separate sessions… Could work! I didn't try this yet! :).
