Hello everybody,

I just got a Notebook with a HAMR - Winmodem inside. Happily I recognized, 
that there is a new driver for this modem for Linux available. The problem 
I am having is,  that the driver is for a special Chipset (VIA, I have got 
this one), and even more difficult for a special kernel-version (2.2.16). I 
am using kernel 2.4.4 and since the driver is not available in sourcecode I 
am not able to recompile it for my kernel.

Since I am not using this modem too often it would be ok for me to install 
kernel 2.2.16 next to my 2.4.4 kernel, but I am not sure how to do this 
(System.map), etc.

Therefore my question: Is it possible to have two (or more) kernel versions 
working on one machine? And if so how can I do this?

Even better would be a possibility to run (change) a module from version 
2.2.16 to 2.4.4, but I doubt, that there is a possibilty to do so...

Hope somebody has some experience with this...

Your's

Jens
