Re: kernel upgrading problem
Hi S. M. Ibrahim,
You should reply to the list, to make sure others can help you.
Also, you should avoid top posting (putting your reply on top). It's no big
deal, but it makes it hard to follow for people who come in late. I've
edited your response appropriately.

What is hashal? I've never heard that word.
If you could post your setup, we may be able to help. What are the contents
of /etc/fstab (local mounts are the only important ones). How about the
contents of /etc/yaird/Default.cfg and /etc/yaird/Templates.cfg? Have either
of them changed from the stock install?
