Downgrade a kernel on new installations?

That's the question. How can I downgrade my kernel (2.6.33 to 2.6.32) on a new Arch installation since I don't have any last kernel on my cache?

I need to do it because I have trouble with my installation of VMware using the 2.6.33 kernel, and the solution provided here in the forums (add some lines to /.vmware/preferences) doesn't seem to work for me.

Thanks to you all

Did you try these steps from the VMWare forums?

Some kernel headers got moved and you have to symlink them to the old position.

Well, since appears to not exist some solution, I'll download an iso with 2.6.30 kernel on it, and then I'll make the updates leaving the kernel out of the processes. I hope some solution will come from VMware soon.

Thanks to you all.

You can get 2.6.32 kernel packages from the Arch Rollback Machine.
