Hello John!
There are no iMacs with 603 or 604 CPUs.
Please look into your "/boot"-dir and verify that System.map is a link
to your current System.map that corresponds to your kernel-version.
You can try to start mol with this command "startmol
/boot/System.map-(version of your kernel)" but this never worked for me.
For me only a link to from /boot/System.map to /boot/System.map-(version
of running kernel) worked for me.
By the way, make shure your try this as root, cause only root is allowed
to patch the kernel.
After you have mol running you can put a modified startmol in your
rc.local, so you can run startmol as a normal user and the patches are
applied during system startup.
