Note that you must unload the mol kernel module manually before
trying a new MOL version (there is a check in recent
MOL versions, but not in older ones).
It is possible that your problems with recent
versions of MOL is due to a change in the "plugging"
of the serial port. You should try removing all
serial port related files from the extensions folder
and see if this helps (starting with shift is probably
not sufficient).
