By default tar will try to extract into your current directory.  Try
going into the destination directory where you want the kernel to end
up, say /usr/src and type
$ tar -xvIf /cdrom/kernal/linux-2.4.0-test11.tar.bz2

Be warned if it extracts to linux/*, rather than linux-2.4.0/* and you
already have a kernel in /usr/src you will most likely overwrite that.
You can do a practise run of tar without writing any actual files byt
type tar -tvIf.

Regards,
Steve
