rc.sysinit already does this for you. BTW, use ntsysv and disable automatic
startup of kerneld. If you boot a 2.0 kernel, rc.sysinit will fire it up,
anyway.

Delete /lib/modules/preferred and apply the following patch to remove some RH
braindamage:

With this, 2.1.105 & RH 5.1 run fine on my laptop :-)
