Yes, it's kernel with two "e"s.  According to Webster's II:
"kernel ... 3: The most material and central part."

"-al" and "-ar" in English are morphemes connoting "pertaining to"
which form adjectives, so "kernal" would be an adjective meaning
"pertaining to an Irish or Scottish foot soldier (a kern)".
