Same to you
There is one thing that puzzles me --- I don't think your G3 card is
enabled: what does cat /proc/cpuinfo say?

I'm not quite sure what to understand, did you enable the CONFIG_MOL
option? It should be all by itself under a (that's in my case) button
named ``(null)''

Odd, I did not know you had to have 68k code...

Erm, did you have both the System.map and vmlinux files in your /boot
folder unpdated in order to be either links to or the actual files
created after your compilation? I am under the impression that you only
copied the System.map file. But then, is it useful to have the vmlinux
file in /boot?

Well, it should not, that is if you enabled the CONFIG_MOL option. Nor
should mol complain about your processor if your G3 card is enabled
