Hello, I'm sending this mail to know if there's any solution to the
following problems. I'm running LinuxPPC2K on a Motorola's Starmax 3000
(603e processor) with MOL 0.9.50.and MacOS 8.6 This runs magically well
!
Fisrt question : Do I need to repatch the kernel source and recompile it
for any new version of MOL ? There is actually no problem with my
kernel, which compiled for 0.9.48.
Second problem : after booting my computer, I can't launch MOL without
being root, because it has to patch the kernel. It's only possible to
run MOL without being root later, after a fisrt-run of MOL as root. Is
there any solution avoiding this condition ? Is this a security choice ?
Third problem : will serial ports emulation be developped ? There's no
way for me (I've got no ethernet card and I've got a serial only
Stylewriter II) to print a document. Very nasty !
Fourth problem : it happened two times that Macos crashed when I
switched from Mol's VT8 to VT7 during the start of an application in
Macos. That's not a big problem, because Linux nor X didn't crash, but
...
Thanks, Bertrand Dekoninck.
