Hi,
Did you stop all the SAP Services before copying the decompresses kernel files?
Did you download the correct kernel, it is very easy to download the incorrect kernel files.
Check the contents of the Developer trace files dev_w0 and dev_disp for any clues.

By the way, I was trying to follow the wiki, but without success.
In points:
5. Backup the old kernel. Usually it is located in: </usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/<uc or nuc>/<system>. it might also be located in /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run
The default kernel location is: /sapmnt/SID/exe . When the SAP instance is starting up by startsap command, the kernel from /sapmnt/SID/exe is overwriting the kernel in /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run . So always is better to upgrade kernel in /sapmnt/SID/exe directory.
6. Delete the old backed up kernel, and copy the new kernel there.
I've made a backup of </usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/<uc or nuc>/<system>, and then copied the files (without deleting just copiing over), then started the services, DB, and SAP, and SAP don't run (all process say could not start).
Help? Please! :)
