Gianluca,

I too have a problem with this and really have been running around in
circles to get answers.

My machine is a Amgia4000 with 060/604e PowerUP card....so in theory MOL
should work. However I think one of the first problems seems to be that
MOL is supported only on specific Kernels...is this correct. Apus
currently only supports 2.2.10 or 2.4.0pre8 I think...unless the user
wants to complile their own kernel. Specific DIFFs need to be applied to a
Linux68k kernel to get a bootable kernel.

Anyhow, I now have my APUS machine up and running so will be activly
pursuing this in the comming weeks:) Will be building MOL support into a
kernel or two...

Is there any of the MOL developers actually involved in this....I may be
able to get my APUS machine online and an account setup on it is so
desired.....legit takers only...the APUS guys say they are working on
this, however nothing seems to be happening Any suggestions guys..?

The furtherest I've heard anyone get with MOL under a 604 Apus system is
here...what is the next step then...apart from a correct kernel :)
