Now I feel like a fool... just tried copying the kernel over again, double-checked the permissions and ownership (both were OK), and rebooted. Worked like a charm. Still wondering why it didn't work last night, though. Thanks. -Rob McKeever robm@mac.com On Wednesday, November 13, 2002, at 11:04 AM, Louis Gerbarg wrote: It should work. What are the permissions on the mach_kernel you write out. BootX is picky about that. It has to be root owned and not group or world writeable.

I've tried using the ToT tools from the CVS archives and the instructions for rebuilding kernels under 10.1 as a starting point, but each attempt has ended with BootX unable to locate a valid kernel file and displaying the dreaded circle with a slash graphic. Unfortunately, I was kinda hoping to test some stuff that would require having a kernel with debugging symbols in it. -Rob McKeever robm@mac.com -- "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur." _______________________________________________ darwin-kernel mailing list | darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/darwin-kernel Do not post admin requests to the list.
