I understand this, but for example a UML 2.6.10 kernel will continue to run

guest you may (but not nessasarily must) have to upgrade the host to 2.6.17
or later.
Why might you have to do that?
take this with a grain of salt, I'm not saying the particular versions I'm
listing would require this
if your new guest kernel wants to use some new feature (SKAS3, time
virtualization, etc) but the older host kernel didn't support some system call
nessasary to implement it, you may need to upgrade the host kernel to one that
provides the new features.
