Hello Goh-Lip

It's already becoming more clear now.

Off-topic curiousity: GMT+8: where in the world are you know?
However it may be, have a nice dinner. I simply go on with my work -
in the mean time I wait for your reply before doing a next step.

BUT: The output of "search -f / vmlinuz" is "hd0, 1" as I wrote in my
previous message.
That's why, I have also carried out this command:

ls (hd0, 1)/boot/

This is the output generated by it:
(When I see an <empty space> between two characters, I indicate it as
follows: "<s>"

Is there any code amongst the codes listed above which is the 'latest
kernel listed'?
I stop here at this point until I receive your answer to this question.
Thanks, respectfully yours,

Bas.
