No, it isn't. When you compile a new kernel, you also need to compile a
new set of modules. IF you are compiling another copy of the same kernel
version, use the EXTRAVERSION tag so your module directory tree and kernel
version match. You can run into problems because of the system using the
old version of the modules, instead of the new one.

What kind of troubles? Many of us use LILO to duel boot Windos, and
Linux. I personaly have one system with Win 95 and Linux, and another
with Win 98 and Linux. I haven't done it with NT or 2000, but others
have, so that works too.
