The kernel is the very heart and soul of the OS - it is the part that does all the magic real time task management. If Mac OS X could be analogized as a body, the kernel would be its brain.You need to move the kernel back to where it belongs and then you will likely be able to boot. Unfortunately, I am not at my Mac and so cannot tell you exactly where that is. Can some other kind soul chime in with the correct folder for the kernel to be in?BTW, since your machine does not boot, you will need to boot it off the install disc to get it running so that you can move the kernel file.</blockquote>
