Copying the file named "mach_kernel" to the boot volumes' root

Then you obviously have other bootable kernels or NetBoot available or
might not boot the volume you think.
Did you perhaps just rename the old kernel instead of copying &
deleting it? Perhaps, modern versions of BootX remember something like
the file's inode instead of the file path ...
Where is the REAL kernel in the 1.8DP G5? How can I replace it?
It's /mach_kernel, loaded into memory by BootX. I'd go to the Startup
Volume system panel and check what's available. Then, click on the
volume you want to boot to make the panel re-write OpenFirmware
settings.
If this doesn't help, you'd have to fiddle with the "nvram" utility
directly, but I doubt that.
HTH,
