After booting with the new kernel i couldnt mount my vfat drive (mount says type vfat unknown). I compiled vfat support into the kernel though.
So... i tried booting my old kernel (which would be 2.6.13-8-default.old and i copied it to 2.6.13-8-original to prevent me accidentally overwriting it) and it says the same thing for some reason. And when i do uname -a it says im using 2.6.13-default which is what my newly compiled kernel is.
My Xen kernel is still working fine to boot with and use to mount my vfat partition.
Any idea as to where the problem is?
heres my ls -l of boot and grub.conf, i cant see whats wrong with this.
