The info below should help ya....you have to load the kernel module 
manually.  btw, if you get it working, tell me, i would like to see if

always locks up during startup.

Right, this is the url I use when I push changes to the repository.
The public (read-only) url is with "mol@" omitted.

I have fixed this but problem but not pushed it. Essentially one should

OK... I'll fix this. I usually start MOL from the source tree.

Well, what you need to do is

	cd src/kmod
	sudo make insert	(loads the MOL KEXT)
	cd ../
	sudo ./startmol
