Hi there,

            /sbin/sysctl -a | grep kern.securelevel  , wat is your output?
itmight be likely that ur kern.securelevel is already 1 or 2 which made it
impossible for you to chflags your /kernel.

you could set ur kern.secureleve to -1 temporarily.

sysctl -w kern.securelevel=-1

hope this helps,

Regards,
James Lim
