Author Where to find old RH (7.1) kernels?

Hi,

Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places, but so far I haven't found a
repository for old RH kernels (7.1 specifically in my case).

The reason for me asking is that for certain reasons I still need to run
ClearCase 4.2 (an old version) together with 7.1 for a couple of more
months before we upgrade both - but I need to bump up the kernel version
from 2.4.2-2 (!) that we're using right now. (Don't ask, I'm caught in a
legacy hell right now...)

The only RH 7.1 kernel I can find is 2.4.20-28.7, but the kernel module
for ClearCase is compiled for 2.4.20-13.7 so I have a mismatch
preventing my update.

Anyone able to give me a pointer? I've found
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/su...el-archive/7.1/
but that doesn't do it for me - latest version there is 2.4.9-12. So far
I've been unable to locate something else.

Thanks.

That's great, thanks for the pointer!

The sad thing is that the source RPM
http://ftp.cvut.cz/RedHat/updates/7...0-13.7.i386.rpm
seems corrupt (cpio MD5 sum mismatch) and won't install - and I need the
source to rebuild mvfs.o in ClearCase.

Damn, I wish RedHat would make old kernel versions available as well.

Try again the rpm downloads/installs just fine on my system;

$ sudo rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.4.20-13.7.i386.rpm
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts: No such file or
directory Preparing...
