shaybc Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 simply replace the mach_kernel file found in your root install partition with the one you downloaded (i would back up my current) from terminal do this: sudo -s [enter you password and press return] mv /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.bak cp ~/Downloads/new_mach_kernel /mach_kernel assuming you have downloaded into Downloads folder and the file name is new_mach_kernel then reboot. if it failed to load then just press F8 at startup, and in the prompt you get write the name of your old kernel: mach_kernel.bak and it will use it for startup. hope this helps.
