I managed to copy the kernel back using the fixit utility on the install disk. However, it is nw caught in an endless loop, where whenever I boot up, I get sysinstall and then the bindist install. the kern messages say "running sysinstall as init" How do I get rid of this to boot normally. (Note, I did not re download the bindist, do I have to?) Thanks again in advance Please email and post repsonses, if you would (my newsfeed is slow) Michael Risch
