Re: Re: failure to insert the vfat kernel module

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!!
