I have had to reboot my Openserver (5.0.7) from unix.old as booting from unix renders the system unusable. How can I make openserver boot from unix.old by default?
Many Thanks

You can just rename (or copy) /stand/unix.old to /stand/unix. Since /stand is mounted as "read only", you must first unmount:
# cd /
# umount /stand
# mount /stand
# cp /stand/unix.old /stand/unix.works
# mv /stand/unix.old /stand/unix
# umount /stand
# mount -r /stand

# cd /
# umount /stand
# mount /stand
# cp /stand/unix.old /stand/unix.works
# mv /stand/unix.old /stand/unix
# umount /stand
# mount -r /stand

Many thanks for this. I have done as instructed and now got Openserver booting correctly again.

you will still have to change or correct whatever settings broke that kernel before you try to rebuild it again.

Many thanks for the advice. I will attempt to uninstall the offending patch.
