I am not a skilled Linux user so please correct my steps to test a new kernel: 1. backup of the filesystem /
This really shouldn't be needed, but of course it never harms :)
2. install the new kernel ... #rpm -i kernel-default-2.6.22.18-0.1.i586.rpm
This is correct.
Do I have to install the patch input-add-amilo-pro-v-to-nomux.patch ? How to do it?
You don't have to do that, the testing kernel I have built for you already contains that patch.
Does the present kernel 2.6.22.17-0.1-default remain in the system after runnig rpm -i ?
It definitely should, but you can easily check to be 100% sure after installing the kernel, that its entry remained in the /boot/grub/menu.lst and that the /boot/vmlinuz-* and /lib/modules files for the old kernel are still there.
3. add a new section to the file /boot/grub/menu.lst , for the new kernel, without any boot parameters
It will be added automatically, when you install the RPM.
4. run the test
