Krot Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I had a perfectly working system and was a very happy with it, but today i've made something horrible - has removed mach_kernel . He has appeared on my system disk among System, Application, Library etc. folders after upgrading kernel with Nebukadnezar. I thought that is old backuped kernel. So... now my system dont boot it says can't find a kernel. What i'm gonna do to bring kernel back?!?!?! Very very need you help!

asap18 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 do you have another operating system installed or is osx the only one? All you need to do is get the kernel-where you got it the first time or off your install dvd and place it on the root of your osx partition.

Sailfish Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 (edited) If you used the script there would be a backup "mach_kernel.old" and 1 2 and 3 and 4! Prasys went wild with the backups to make it all safe. If anything goes wrong , try to boot up using F8 and then type -f . See if that fixes the problem. If it does not , you could use back the old kernel , by typing mach_kernel.old in the boot prompt. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=33039 OR - You could pull the drive. Attach it to another system. Add the mach_kernel. Put the drive back. Boot.
