What firmware are you using? If an OE one, hold R while the PSP boots and click Configuration, you'll be able to change kernel type then.

"In computer science, the kernel is the central component of most computer operating systems (OS). Its responsibilities include managing the system's resources and the communication between hardware and software components."
