kernel 2.4?

Is it possible to boot current Arch with kernel 2.4?
If yes - do I need to compile it myself or could you point me to the package?

I'm afraid it wouldn't work with current glibc.

Link.

Debian still offer 2.4 support.  I think Slackware does as well.  Gentoo (if your machine can take all the compiling) also supports 2.4.

2.4 is still default for Slackware, actually.

Re: kernel 2.4?

Slack may be your best bet actually, I was looking around the Debian Etch repo, and didn't see any sign of a 2.4 kernel.  Maybe they are dropping 2.4 support once Sarge is replaced.
