Yeah, but unfortunately, due to my small root partition, I had to remove the older kernel. I tried to reinstall it, but 2.6.12 had been removed from etch. About your next mail: that device command simply isn't available in the grub commandline that I get. It doesn't exist. Maybe it's too old? I think it's grub 0.95. According to Knoppix it's 0.95+cvs20040624-17. -- Grtjs, Manuel PS: http://manuel.msxnet.org/
