seems to be a good one linux.

At start I got the message like "This kernel doesn't support your CPU couse you don't have something like PAE (Physical adress Extension)". I've newbie in linux, so to fix this problem I tried just to replace file "vmlinuz0" with the one I've found on a Slackware image made by quotaholic. It is obvious that linux didn't undersood me at boot and started to cry for help.

So the question: how can I replace to kernel?

That question would be best asked of the Moblin Linux team. There are two concerns here. Moblin linux is being developed for two specific hardware platforms. Outside of that I remember a sse3 capable cpu being needed (geode is not).

Distributions often offer more than one kernel on a disc. Do your research lining up hardware compatibility. No one here has any variant of Ubuntu installed, thus no one will be able to offer advice on that topic. Moblin is a Ubuntu variant.

One person here did link a tutorial on how to get past a bad kernel on a Ubuntu installation however it requires the knowledge of a good kernel that will work on ones hardware and a "live cd" of that operating system. Moblin images are "installed" images and not "live" images. Thus I feel Moblin may not be a good investment of time.
