New Why?
You can run kernels from different versions in parallel, even major versions. Just make sure you compile them against the same libraries with the same compiler.

For example, my maintenance disks are based on kernel 2.2 because it's not as fat and leaves more room for goodies.

New Be aware, though...
Running 2.6 means you need minimum versions of such things as modutils if smooth sailing is to be achieved.

If you're going to add your own 2.6 kernel to a current distro, you'll have to read the documentation.
