This is fairly simple to solve.
Go to the www.maconlinux.com site and read the instructions for patching
the kernel.
What you need to do is find the directory on your drive that has the
kernel patches in it. It's called Kernel_Patches, I think, but I forget
where it is. The mol site will tell you if you can't find it.
Basically the problem is that patches need to be applied, but your
computer doesn't support doing this on-the-fly, as it were. So you have
to apply the patches to your kernel, then recompile the kernel. Full
instructions are given in the Kernel_Patches directory.
Then you need to put the new kernel, patched, with mol enabled, into
your mac os system folder in place of the old one. And copy the new
System.map to /boot.
Then reboot into linux and and you'll have no problems...except you'll
need to configure mol too.
