    Does updating the kernel unroot the droid?

    I just updated from the stock DroidMod kernel to Chevy 1.2 update 3 and now it appears I no longer have full root permission.

    If I open up a terminal and type 'su' I get the prompt asking me to allow so I click allow and it says permission denied.

    The weird part is I then have a [root@droid] / # prompt.

    that's not the kernels fault. the kernel has nothing to do with that. something else is up.

    Okay.. I think this is at the root of why SetCPU (and MetaMorph) both don't work now.

    No big deal I can always restore one of my backups.. just wish I knew why this happened.

    Nope.. I bought the phone, then rooted it, then used DM Updater to get DroidMod 1.0.

    Then, today I downloaded Chevy's kernel, installed it with SPRecovery and rebooted.

    Now, root is clearly screwed up.

    I realized I didn't check the 'remember selection' box when Terminal Emulator asks you to Allow, so I did that.

    And now Terminal Emulator just hangs.

    I think I'm going to revert the whole phone back to stock.
