Hacking kernel problems

[FakeHero]

i used to have the old 1.7 ish moonshl kernel and it worked. but now i dled 2.0 rc6 so i can play mario and luigi.
i put the contents of the 2.0rc6 kernel into the root of the sd card, and a game folder with some games in it. but when i start it, it saids safefree request nullpointer, something like that.
what am i doing wrong?
thanks

Format and install the new kernel, so it won't conflict with remains of the old.

he has to delete anything in the romdat and romini folders

ok, so i did a full format of the sd card and put the kernel back in.
now it has ez5shell and the ezysbin something, with a folder of games.
but when i turn my ds on i get the same problem :l

Err, wtf. Does the old kernel stil work? What type of ezflash do you have. An ez5 or ez5i or ez5plus(Am I correct that this is an versin also?)

Follow instructions from this thread only if you have an EZ5v1 or v2

EZ5 v1 / EZ5 v2 (aka New Year Edition)

when i use the kernel 1.70, it says the same thing "safefree request nullpointer"
i dont know why, but for some reason, it seems like the only kernel that works for me is 1.86h T_T
i formatted so much times

k1.70 is stoneage 2.0 RC7 (!!!) is a good kernel so far
