Thanks for your kind guidance.
The kernel path is correct. But after getting your response, I have
downloaded the iso again and overwrite the existing one in usb-stick.
Also check the md5sum and it is correct. And something *NEW* has
happend this time. No more error like before ( invalid magic number )
.  Though not sucees yet. Now grub display "Linux-bzimage" and just
stick there. No further progress.
