Have you compiled Mol-support into your kernel or do you use a precompiled
one? The run-time patch probably won't work for that version, but if you
apply the 2.2.15x-patch to the kernel-sources, you should be able to build
your own mol-capable kernel. That worked for me with 2.2.17pre10, at least.
There were also warning messages from sheep_net.o and some other module
about version conflicts, but they didn't seem to be fatal.
I cannot run it in console mode on my PB, though, as it always tries to
switch to 640x480 resolution (see my last post) and there appear to be
problems with the mice in the new input layer, but within X it is working.
Some other things are not working well with that kernel, e.g. sleep, but
that might not worry your iMac.
HTH,
Derek
