Hi, DriverLoader can be uninstalled using the 'dldrconfig --uninstall' command in a root shell, this will work with all the different packages of DriverLoader, even with the source tarball (generic package in the TAR format). You can use a generic package of DriverLoader with multiple kernels without any problems. Simply install DriverLoader while one of the kernel is booted, it doesn't matter which one. When you will boot the machine with another kernel, the DriverLoader module will be automatically built on boot for that new kernel. This will not affect your DriverLoader installation with the former kernel, it will still work when you will boot the former kernel.
