If you look near the top of /usr/libexec/reorder_kernel , you will see the file that is used is /var/db/kernel.SHA256 . I don't know where any of the folks posting got the idea to use a file in all uppercase, but in reading reorder_kernel , I don't see how that would work or be relevant in any way. Brian
