That does not make sense. Really.
when I reboot I got error :"too old kernel",
Which is correct. Note that this is still correct even if you can make that warning go away.
how Can I install a rather older kernel on a new system,is there some way fix it?
Install some ancient distro that came with a 2.6.32 kernel. It will have all the matching userspace applications.
But this seems like a complete waste-of-time project. Care to share the reasons why you'd want to do something like that?

Just pointing out that fairly recent versions of Redhat used 2.6.32, plus a boatload of patches. Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 does, if I am not mistaken. So you might want to start with the equivalent Centos version since the former will cost money whereas the later will be free. Jeff Haran
