/etc/rc.sysinit and dual booting 2.4 and 2.6 kernels

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i haven't yet had a chance to look at the RH-supplied patches
to the 2.6 kernel, but do any of them represent patches to 
/etc/rc.sysinit to deal with 2.6?  as a number of us have already
pointed out, there are a few changes that have to be made to
the /etc/rc.sysinit file to handle things like new USB module
names.

  as a starting point, consider the guide at:
  http://thomer.com/linux/migrate-to-2.6.html
note that the steps suggested there are if you're switching
over to 2.6 permanently.  what if you want to dual boot between
2.4 and 2.6?  it seems that /etc/rc.sysinit has to be made general
enough to handle both possibilities, with condition checks like

  if 2.4 then
	blah blah
  else	
	woof woof
  fi

  is there an updated /etc/rc.sysinit that takes care of this?
