What if any is the generally accepted way of maintaining multiple versions of
kernels? I'm currently experiencing boot problems with the latest version of
the kernel, and must keep version 2.6.26-17 installed. I'd like to install
this, and the latest concurrently so that I can experiment with

After the full install, things started working, and I unset the
