Sorry if i seemed harsh. I should have check if what suggested was useful, it wasn't.

Kernel modules are needed by your HW, so if don't add/remove HW parts between boots, usually it will need the same modules (i give you that sometimes between kernels the same module change name). > What im meaning is say i have a 2.4.xx kern and a 2.6.xx kern they both are > gonna excute /etc/modules and /etc/modules.conf but say i want differeent > modules for the different kernels (i dont want them excuting the same module > config file) so then would I just have to switch between the config files > ahead of time before i reboot to the toher kernel or is there a better way of > doing this? > The /etc/modules.conf IIRC is built at boot time by the modutils package for the 2.4.x kernels and module-init-tools for the 2.6.x kernels parsing the /etc/modutils dir. The /etc/modules instead is file is a static file. I think that hotplug will do the work for you, loading the needed modules by your kernel.
