Kinda what it means is you can only manage one of the kernels with the
linux spell at a time, and thus any external module spells at one
time. Like I said before the alternative is to dispel linux really
quick and rebuild the modules you want, dispelling linux doesn't
remove anything in /boot or /lib/modules.

Usually what I do in a situation like this is to use expert mode and
then let all the spells associated cast. Its nice cause with one
command you get everything you need, built against the correct kernel
(I make a very modular kernel that requires an initrd on most of my
systems).
