[newbie] Boot disk for Kernel 2.4

[aifusionextreme]

Hi   I have been unable to  get any of the 2.2 kernels to work, they just hang on boot-up. I want to try some of the beta 2.4 kernels, but since I cant get into linux, I cant install them,. Is there any way to make a boot disk with the 2.4 kernel, which will boot into the current install of 7.2 ?   Thanks   Cheers
