The Baron Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Try this: In terminal (Applications/ Utilities) type sudo -s (then your password - you'll then be root, which means you can modify system settings) mv /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.unpatched cp /location/to/your/patched/mach_kernel /mach_kernel (you can drag your kernel into the terminal window to get the path) Then do diskutil repairPermissions / and reboot hth, The Baron btw: why are codeboxes so big?
