Where to get older kernel arch packages

Is it possible to download a kernel package older than the current 2.4 release, or do you have to compile your own for that?
I upgraded from 2.4.26-1 to 2.4.26-2 but I'm now having some sound problems, so I'd like to go back a step.

Thanks,
Corneliax

Re: Where to get older kernel arch packages

well the old package could be in your cache if you did not delete it if not you may have to use the web cvs inerface to download the previous kernel PKGBUILD then build the package yourself with makepkg.

better yet why not explain your problem in hopes of a solution?

It's this post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=24542#24542

I've the same problem - after installing the new kernel and alsa-driver packages the following error occurs:

# modprobe snd-maestro3
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: couldn't find the kernel version the module was compiled for
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/acore/snd.o: insmod snd-maestro3 failed
#

Some module version problem...

2:38am:  Strange...I was going to rebuild alsa-driver in ABS but the build fails due to a missing acpi_bus.h file.

Read my response in that thread too.
