What does one do when MOL won't work??? I have tried different oftrees,
different settings in molrc. I also tried booting in Safe video and Ultra
safe video (from yaboot). Nothing changed; still getting the unimplemented
store error shown above.
I am using a ROM from a Performa 6400(listed in mol docs as one that works)
because I want to install MacOS 7.6 or 8.1 so I can use some older software
that won't run on in MacOS 9.
Is it possible that an earlier version of LinuxPPC 2000 will work with mol??
My current setup: LinuxPPC 2000 Q4 on an iMac DV+.
Some people are talking about a 2.4 kernal. If I updated that, would mol
possibly work?
Another possibility is to try a different kind of Linux on ppc?
These are all major changes, so I am asking for advice as to my next step.
I am really in the dark about this and don't know what to do next.
Also, if anyone has mol running in the LinuxPPC Q4, can you send me your
configuration: molrc, what ROM you are using, and mol version. This mostly
applies to those running a BootROM, not a new world ROM.
Thanks very much. I appreciate any help you can provide!
Terry
