1) your understanding is correct, I pasted only the lines I think I
should see and that are not coming out.
2) I will download what you suggest but I think that a standard kernel
 should boot with no options (3 machines with different hardware are
not booting with 29 - see also Antonio Olivares message not far from
this...about different problems with F11.

tnx for help
