Help!  We installed a new kernel this morning and it didn't work.  Ran for
about an hour before crashing.  I rebooted with the old kernel, but now I
can't get rid of the old one.  I'm logged in as root, but the kernel is
marked no write for everyone and I can't rm or mv it, I can't even chmod
it, I get "permission denied".  I need to get the "kernel.old" renamed to
"kernel"  so that this system will boot on it's own.
