There was a long thread in this list a while ago under this subject heading:
Re: Question about dual-booting two versions of RedHat
that I suggest you read. Search the archives for the thread. I'd like to
point out that Edward C. Bailey wrote a particularly good response
discussing how he dual-boots a system, and you would benefit from
studying it. In fact go through the whole thread to see what everyone says.

I have Severn Release 3 installed as a *2nd* OS on a laptop. (The
first
OS is RedHat 9). GRUB is located on the MBR. I've configured grub.conf
from the original install, and it boots kernel-2.4.22-1.2088.nptl just
fine.
However, I downloaded updates, including kernel 2.4.22-1.2110.nptl. I
see the kernel in my /boot directory. However, I cannot find
initrd-2.4.22-1.2110.nptl.img. And, the system certainly complains if
it is not present.
Advice? Hints?
Thanks...Terry
