This is weird. I tried without X video, and same result. Then I tried using
the pre-built 2.4.15-pre5-ben0 kernel from ppckernel.org, just to see if it's
my kernel config causing the problem, but again same result.
I'm using MOL from the 0.9.60 RPM, and built the kmods myself, making sure to
use the correct headers as per the user manual. Perhaps you could send me
your kmods, just to make sure that's not the problem.
I've never had a problem with MOL using the bitkeeper linuxppc_2_4 tree. I
switched to the -ben0 tree so I could use things like DRI and other
improvements.
