How to install linux version 2.4.28
 
I have downloaded the linux version 2.4.28 from the kernel.org, pl tell me the steps how to install it.

repo 08-18-2009 07:05 AM
You only downloaded the kernel?
Why did you took the old kernel?
latest is 2.6.

Do you have a running linux distribution?

You need to compile the kernel

Or do you want to build linux from scratch?

I have been using the digium card thats why. That is old one.

repo 08-18-2009 07:16 AM
Can you please explain what you want to do?
Do you have a running linux distribution and want to install a new kernel?
If yes, you need to compile the kernel.

My hard disk get crashed, I faced problem in boot up from the hard disk, So I planned to install the kernel in another hard disk and make use of it.

repo 08-18-2009 07:28 AM
Don't you mean you ant to install a linux distribution like debian, suse, ubuntu ... ?

vino87 08-18-2009 07:31 AM
Thanks! I will compile the kernel and tell the status.

vino87 08-19-2009 03:10 AM
My partition is contains only the lost+found file and this tar file linux-2.4.28.tar.bz2 how to install the kernel.

repo 08-19-2009 10:53 AM
Do you have a distro installed?
You need some packages to compile the kernel.(gcc etc)
Why don't you use a cd from a distribution to install on the HD, and then compile the old kernel,
since you want to use the old kernel.

u downloaded a old kernel

2.4 kernel is used is only using in embedded application

any way there is nothing like to install the kernel u have to compile it

some set of easy steps r there u can search on forword link.

I tried to install the linux 2.4.28 using the apt-get command as

I unpacked the source by,tar -zxvf linux-2.4.28.tar.gz

Then I execute the following command

apt-get install linux-2.4.28 but I get the following error message.

linux-2.4.28 package not found

This means the kernel isn't avaiable anymore in the repo's. (to old)
You need to compile the kernel by hand.
Take a look at the links I gave you earlier.
BTW, you can not use apt-get to install a tar file.

I used the link what you send to me. But when I do the "make bzImage" I got the error messages as follows,
