Here is how to compile 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels on Redhat 7 from source code. http://www.horseplay.demon.co.uk/redhat7.html You have to modify symbolic links and use kgcc. I am still amazed no one else knows this, anyway thats the solution. Otherwise i'd recommend sticking to Redhat 6.2 >ftp.

Still no luck in getting this critical operation working. I cannot find this directory on any Redhat mirrors, are you sure about it? Perhaps you could provide a working URL. I'm baffled why no one from Redhat has helped out or verified such a critical issue, this is not good. thanks At 23:23

Hi Dan, DE> 2. Where can I download preview 2.4.x kernels in .rpm format? They are on disc 2 of Redhat 7.0 /preview/RPMS/ or ftp.redhat.com (or your favorite mirror) in the redhat-7.0/i386/preview/ (or something to that effect) Have fun, -- ___

Hi Dan, Unless you are just trying to have fun with a custom kernel... You may want to look in the "preview" directory for kernel rpms for kernel 2.4. There are also glibc (optimized for 2.4) and tux patches if you rebuild the srpm. If you are just after 2.4 without too much hassle it may help.

I thought this would be easy, but am wrong. No matter how I try to compile this kernel, I still get errors. Is there something I need to setup in order to compile this properly once downloading and setting it up? In /usr/src/linux/ there is a link called asm -> asm-i386 which surely shou
