Building 2.6.0-test11 kernel questions?

I am interested in a building the 2.6 test kernel.

Now I am currently on a redhat 9 system - if that makes a difference.

I have found a few sites that aid in this. Including upgrading from Redhat 9 to the 2.6 kernel.

However i have a few questions for those that are here.
First off i hear that the modutils needs to be updated,
will this effect the 2.4 kernel. Basically will upgrading cause the old kernel to not load.

I guess as a question along those lines. How much of the underlying system
(/etc conf files, etc) needs to be modified to run the 2.6 kernel. And will these changes
prevent old 2.4 kernels from running.

Those are my major questions for now if I have anymore I will post back.
 
Install module-init-tools along side modutils, module-init-tools is smart enough to run the old tools for you if you boot a 2.4 kernel.

Basically no conf files need changed, well some of the module names have changed for things like ACPI so you may need to load them by hand or fix some aliases in modules.conf but that's it. I don't think any network drivers or anything changed module names.
 
Another question regarding ALSA Sound.

I am trying to find out and am curious, what version of the ALSO drivers are in the 2.6.0-test11 kernel?
I have tried to look at the documenation with it and I must have missed it somewhere.
