I have 32 MB of RAM. I tried going in and setting the partition to active but this didnt make a difference. I only have one hard disk. I did boot a fixit floppy and mounted and looked at the filesystem, and noticed that the kernel* file under the / directory is still the old kernel from the old installation I had on the system, not the 5.4 kernel. When I try to delete the file it first asks me if I would like to override r-xr-xr-x root/0 schg. I hit y, and it then says operation not permitted. I do not know why it will not let me delete this file. I try doing a chmod a+w kernel on it, but it wont let me do that either.

(man chflags) chflags noschg filename

5.4 has the kernel in /boot btw (and not in / as in 4.x)
