    Is there a way that, because I stupidly installed voodo on my iatkos 10.5.6 machine, I can install the default kernal. I cant boot into ANYTHING, my HDD, my boot disks to partition, I can only load terminal on the boot disk. Is there a way to do this?

    Did you keep the vanilla kernel?

    If you did, it's an easy process - but you must be able to boot in single user mode to do it. If you can't boot into single user mode, then you'd have to take the disk out and put it into another Mac, or PC running MacDrive to solve it.

    Can you boot with -s bootflag?

    I got it to work. Instead of re-partitioning the HDD, i just erased my partition. Thanks!
