Subject: Newbie: Runtime Patch Failures

After a six month hiatus, I've decided to give MOL a shot again.
I'm running YDL 1.2.1, stock kernel, on a Lombard PowerBook with plenty of
RAM and HD space.
I got the copy of MOL that I'm trying to use from the LinuxPPC site. It is
the most current version that I found that there does not require
"libncurses.so.5", which I do not have.
Here's what I'm seeing:
[root@powerbook repetty]# startmol
Mac-on-Linux 0.9.54, (C) 1997-2000 Samuel Rydh <samuel@ibrium.se>
This kernel is NOT runtime patched
Trying to apply MOL runtime patches.
**** Examining '/boot/System.map' ****
Discrepancy found, symbol value mismatch:
c0008bb8 do_signal (c0008bf8)
c000ad14 syscall_trace (c000ad7c)
c0006d48 do_IRQ (c0006dd8)
*** Failed applying the MOL-patches to the kernel ***
*** Try 'startmol vmlinux' or 'startmol System.map' ***
How is it possible to find a System.map inconsistancy in a system that I
just set up yesterday?!!! We're talking FRESH, here!
Okay, when I try the alternate recommended commands I get this,
consistently:
[root@powerbook repetty]# startmol vmlinux
Mac-on-Linux 0.9.54, (C) 1997-2000 Samuel Rydh <samuel@ibrium.se>
This kernel is NOT runtime patched
Trying to apply MOL runtime patches.
*** Failed applying the MOL-patches to the kernel ***
*** Try 'startmol vmlinux' or 'startmol System.map' ***
This is as far as I got six months ago, too. I'm not dying to have MOL
running, but I do desire it.
I've checked over six months worth of mol-general archives and didn't find
anything to help me. Short of compiling a new kernel (which I don't do),
what's my next step to getting this puppy going?
TIA,
