Hi, David,
  Yes, you are right. After changing it to 'y', the " VFS: Cannot open 
root..."
message was gone. I'm so happy and thank you very much.

  Now it is another problem again. (something like: Oops: kernel access of 
bad
area. sig:11...).  I am going to check what happened.

  Do you know where to get the infomation about which kernel version it 
supports?
