If I remember correctly, I fixed the "Rule 7" problem simply by
downloading the latest version of MOL (0.9.53 I believe.) No kernel
recompiling should be necessary. My only remaining problems with MOL are
sound (none) and mounting (only the boot volume will mount on the desktop.
) I'd appreciate knowing if you manage to get these working, since my
system is very similar to yours (Motorola Starmax with a Newer Tech G3-L2
card.)

Subject: MOL failure / accelerator board *?*
Hi-
I am a Macintosh person with an older PPC - 4400. I have a Sonnet
accelerator board that lets me run like a G3 (300 MHz.), and I wonder
does Linux see that, does it know that the accelerator is there?
Linux info is:
Distribution: Red Hat Linux
Version: Linux PPC 2000
kernel: 2.2.15pre3
I have partitioned my Linux as follows:
Partition -- name -- In use -- Free
________________________________________
hda5 -- /mac
hda6 -- / -- 491Mb -- 442Mb
hda7 -- /boot -- 23Mb -- 19Mb
hda8 -- /usr -- 387Mb -- 30Mb
hda9 -- swap -- 129Mb
hda10 -- /hom -- 297Mb -- 282Mb
I have been attempting to start mol (mac-on-linux) and this is what
appears in the terminal window:
# startmol
using MOL library directory /usr/lib/mol
This kernel is not runtime patched
Trying to apply MOL runtime patches
***Examining /boot/System.map***
***Success***
Patching the kernel
***Rule 7: FAILED***
no patching was preformed
_______________________________
So I am still unable to run mac-on-linux
If I grab a screen capture of the Gnome desktop, or create a text
document in Linux how can I save it to the mac partition that is seen
as an hfs partition. Am I suppose to go to /etc/fstab and change the
/mac partition to what?
Also can I start saving some files in /home since /usr is almost full?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
