NK-Magi Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Not sure if this is exactly considered post installation but I was wondering if I wanted to change my default kernel from my Kalyway installation if its possible without having to reformat and reinstall OSX. When I run the sleepkernel it is perfectly fine but I set it to run the KalayKernel for default so I have to change the kernel at boot everytime and simply want to change it to default into sleepkernel Thanks for the help and for the great project.

~pcwiz Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 What are the exact files names of these "KalayKernel" and "sleepkernel"? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110826-changing-default-kernel/#findComment-785179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaporATX Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I think he probably means Kabyl kernel, eh? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110826-changing-default-kernel/#findComment-785183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NK-Magi Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Not exactly sure, I simply chose KalayKernel for my default during the install because previous attempts with sleepkernel didn't fully work, I searched throughout the pc and never found any files related to the kernels but all kernels on the Kalayway 10.5.2 disk are installed just Kalay is the default and doesn't work properly with my setup.Ty, Yea its Kabyl kernel, typo.

~pcwiz Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 OK just find the KabylKernel file, rename it to "mach_kernel.kabyl", find the sleepkernel file and rename it to "mach_kernel". Done!

NK-Magi Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Is there a default folder that they are installed in? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110826-changing-default-kernel/#findComment-785192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsweeting Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 They are at / You won't see them in Finder, make the changes via Terminal. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/110826-changing-default-kernel/#findComment-785201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NK-Magi Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Mmk, its booting up properly now after doing a little bit of sudo and replacing the kernel files! Thank you all for the help!

Geo Mandell Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Just a thought, but Kernel choices are numerous and the necessity to swap them seems to be fairly high in some cases, has anyone put up a little tutorial on Kernels? I myself have been in this project for several months, but only recently learned exactly where a kernel is and how to swap it out.
