*Hi all,*

Actually I have the same problem,

Whenever I compile Old Kernel on a new Kernel system Then its always gives
error in compilation
When i troubleshoot then i found that* "gcc compiler version mismatches"* &
we are unable to downgrade the* gcc.*
so My Question is that.

Q) There is no way to install old kernel on a new system or to downgarde the
kernel ??
