Hello, thanks for reply but it didn't helped me out. I am using Linux
since 6 years and i have some _little_ knowledge... ;-)

I don't use LVM because i never had a need for it. The entry in my
grub.conf looks exctly like the entry for an older kernel which still is
installed and i am using right now.

I will give Dan Fruehauf's hint a try...

Anyway, thanks a lot!
