To fix your booting, I suggest that you check that /boot/kernel.old exists: # [ -d /boot/kernel ] && echo Yes! If this doesn't say Yes! then stop, and wait for someone to help you out a little more. If it does: # /bin/mv /boot/kernel /boot/kernel.faulty # /bin/mv /boot/kernel.old /boot/kernel # reboot That should get you back up until you can fix your other problems! Chris
