*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 ?? * Regards:* Pulkit Goel *mail:* [email protected] [email protected] On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 1:02 AM, govind raj nayak <[email protected]>wrote: > Thanks.
