well first off, did you rename it to mach_kernel (not recommended unless you've tested it thoroughly on your system)? The common com.apple.Boot.plist file usually points to this as its kernel source.
To have the voodoo kernel as a backup kernel or test kernel:
place it in your root ( / ) directory and rename it to something for easy access.. in my case I just renamed it to "voodoo".
I personally run the following in Terminal:
Code:
chown -R root:wheel /voodoo
to ensure I cannot alter it unless I'm acting as the root user now. Go ahead and reboot. When you see the countdown on your initial startup, press a key and simply type in the name of the kernel ("voodoo" in my case again) and any other boot flags you want when you start up. there ya go. now you can update your system.kext file to 9.5 and you'll be sitting pretty.
