Is the only option to copy it to /mach_kernel, and boot from CD (or another partition) and move things around if it doesn't boot? Yea, as far as I could find out, that's the only way. (I'm hoping that someone else has a different answer, but...) I must say I'm glad I converted over to a kext so I don't have to sweat this any more:-) rick _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

I think you can boot the CD and then run a terminal window/shell from the utilities menu (after selecting language), then mount the partition and use it to copy an old mach_kernel back to /mach_kernel if it won't boot, but I haven't actually done that.
