I am sorry....but this doesn't work for me :(
I get the following message -
[bpg@dream bpg]$ startmol
Using MOL library directory /usr/lib/mol
Trying to load the Mac-on-Linux kernel module.
The Mac-on-Linux kernel module is not loaded. Please run 'startmol' as root
[bpg@dream bpg]$
Here is what I exactly did --
downloaded new kernel source (2.2.14)
successfully applied mol patch (mol-kernel-2.2.15pre4.patch)
compiled the kernel with MOL support
made the following changes to my "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" file
insmod -f /usr/lib/mol/modules/mol.o
insmod -f /usr/lib/mol/modules/sheep_net.o
chmod 755 rc.local
cd /etc/rc2.d
ln -s ../rc.d/rc.local S99local
cd ../rc3.d
ln -s ../rc.d/rc.local S99local
cd ../rc5.d
ln -s ../rc.d/rc.local S99local
Any guess what I might be doing wrong? Thanx a lot!
