Hi MoL users,
My MoL is 0.9.53-2, linuxppc 2.2.15 kernel with IP masq and ethertap enabled. My ethernet connection is DHCP protocol. MoL uses ethertap tap0 to get connection. MoL is running in full-screen session (using cmd-ctr-F8). The sympton: IE sometimes hangs the system (MoL) during the middle of requesting data from remote web sites. The clock in the MoL menu bar stops. using cmd-opt-esc can bring up the "force quit" dialog box but the buttons ("force quit" and "cancel") have no effect. The only way to escape from this situation is switch back to linux (via cmd-ctr-F7) and hit ctr-c twice in the terminal where I launched MoL. I even increase MoL's ram size from 64 MB to 96 MB (my PowerBook's ram size is 192 MB). This evening is even scarier: launching IE drop me into some kind of "kernel monitor" (?!), with "mon>" prompt and some vector, IP, ...numbers which I am not familiar with. Typing 'help' or '?' (I forgot) list some possible commands I can use. One of them is 'x' for!
exit. I type in 'x' and the whole linuxppc is hung!!! I have to use cmd-ctr-power to re-boot the powerbook. On the other hand, in the real MacOS (the same hard disk partition on which MoL is booted from), IE runs happily (except the 'crash' after sleep/wake-up bug in Microsoft's FAQ).
Does any of you encounter similar problem? Thanks.
