Hi all :
   my /dev/sda2 is ext3 format filesystem, the os moblin is installed in
/dev/sda2 which is root partition, the bootloader is grub, now i want to
change the bootloader to extlinux, but i came across some trouble,  so i did
some steps as following:
   1. rpm -ivh syslinux-extlinux*.rpm
   2. extlinux -i /boot/extlinux
   3. i edit extlinux.conf , and put it in /boot/extlinux/, there is
extlinux.conf is my attached file.
   4. cd /boot/extlinux
       ln -sf ../vmlinuz-2.6.32.4.lp.enhance.24-netbook-atkbd
vmlinuz-2.6.32.4.lp.enhance.24-netbook-atkbd
  5. extlinux -U /boot/extlinux/
   6. cat  /usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sda
   7. reboot

the screen always show "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!",
and then i type "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.4.lp.enhance.24-netbook-atkbd" or
"/vmlinuz-2.6.32.4.lp.enhance.24-netbook-atkbd",
"vmlinuz-2.6.32.4.lp.enhance.24-netbook-atkbd", but the screen always show
"Could not find kernel image:vmlinuz-2.6.32.4.lp.enhance.24-netbook-atkbd".

could you help me? tell me  how i will do and debug  extlinux in my case.
I am  sorry my English is very poor. please help me!
