Kaspers Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 just press F8 after bios stuff, and boot with: mach_kernel.old to restore old kernel: go to terminal sudo su mount -uw cd / mv mach_kernel mach_kernel.new mv mach_kernel.old mach_kernel good luck thanks to cmoski, he gave me this after I f***ed up my kernel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33250-old-kernel/#findComment-235051 Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe75 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 yip its 10.4.8 and i put my old kernel to my documents.. i tried typing mac_kernel.old but its not working.. how can i start it? its in the documents folder!! type: mv /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.old2 = remove you current kernel type: cp /Users/Your User Name Here/Documents/mach_kernel.old /mach_kernel = replace your first kernel you removed. Remember, when you remove a kernel from terminal, it will be placed in root (Your OSx Disk) unless you specify a particular location. Any kernel in "root" can be loaded just by remembering the name (mach_kernel.???)

snackole Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Boot from the install DVD go to Utilities and open Terminal. Type cd / and press enter. Type cd Volumes and press enter. Type ls and hit enter. Look for the name of your OSX HD/partition and type cd nameofhd and press enter. Type cd /Users/usrname/Documents press enter. Type mv mach_kernel.old mach_kernel and press enter. Type cp mach_kernel /mach_kernel and press enter. Type reboot and press enter. Good Luck.
