Hi there!!
Thanks you again about your great support!!
OK, so I've configured Syslinux to load the new kernel image
(vmlinuz.2.6.32-5-686) by changing the new kernel name into the old kernel
name. but unfortunately, I didn't find the corresponding 'initrd.img-' of
the new kernel, and the error message of the vfat mounting problem is
still alive. what should I do on order to fix this?
B.T.W, it's worth to mention here that I'm using at the live version of
Debian.
Thanks in advance!!
atar.

Thanks you for your help!!
However, can you specify how can I recognize the new kernel image?
what's
its name?
The kernel is named '/boot/vmlinuz-' followed by the kernel version as
reported by 'uname -r'. The boot loader must also use the new initramfs
image which is named '/boot/initrd.img-' followed by the kernel version.
These are the same filenames as in previous versions of the package so
normally the boot loader would load them without any reconfiguration.
Ben.
