Ok thanks, I'm trying now but the vanilla kernel doesn't compile. Looking around in the forum it appears to be the gcc version too new and I'm installing gcc 4.5, let's see if I get it working.. Otherwise another option might be to install from an old arch installer, but then I have the same probl

[arch-general] arch with a specific kernel version

2012-07-12 Thread andrea crotti
I would like to create multiple arch linux installations with a specific (a quite old 2.6 version) kernel version. Is that in theory possible/easy? I have a new one recently created but the downport doesn't seem so easy, so maybe it would just be easier to start with an older one, any suggestions?
