Hey Arron,
When you boot it will say to press any key to bypass the kernel while it
counts down. When you press a key it will drop you to a prompt like
disk1s1a:>
at this type:
unload (unloads the currently loaded kernel)
then type:
load kernel.old (loads the last kernel that was replaced by the install
of the new kernel - e.g. the working kernel. This is of
course provided that
you didn't do "make install" of your bad kernel twice, in
which
case the only thing you could load would be
kernel.GENERIC,
which is the very original kernel that the system first
booted with)
then type:
boot (boots off of the currently loaded kernel)
This should work. Good luck. Take a peek at your root directory after and you
will see
kernel
kernel.old
kernel.GENERIC
in there. After you make your working kernel, copy it to kernel.MYKERNEL in
case you build another bogus kernel later.
