I have here some old applications and modules which ones only run on older linux kernels. I need an ubuntu with kernel < 2.6.31

I tought there are two options:
1.) Download 8.04/8.10 - there is an older kernel but I cannot use apt-get anymore to get stuff :/ I says its not supported
2.) Using 11.10 and change the kernel. But thats the question how? Is it even possible?

Any ideas? Thank you

You can install the previous kernel easily, but there is no assurance that all of your system will work as it should

For 32bit-Intrepid Ibex(8.10)

mkdir kernel&&cd ./kernel&&wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30.10/linux-headers-2.6.30-02063010-generic_2.6.30-02063010_i386.deb&&wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30.10/linux-image-2.6.30-02063010-generic_2.6.30-02063010_i386.deb&&sudo dpkg -i *.deb

For 64bit-Intrepid Ibex(8.10)

mkdir kernel&&cd ./kernel&&wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30.10/linux-image-2.6.30-02063010-generic_2.6.30-02063010_amd64.deb&&wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30.10/linux-headers-2.6.30-02063010-generic_2.6.30-02063010_amd64.deb&&sudo dpkg -i *.deb

You can then select the kernel at the grub screen...
