Hi Samuel,

I'm having a serious problem with the just released mol-0.9.62.
I built mol and mol-kmods from the source RPMS which worked fine.
I do a "startmol --loadonly" in my /etc/rc.local which also worked
fine:

% lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
sheep_net               5008   0 (unused)
mol                    39136   0 (unused)
sungem                 26784   1 (autoclean)

But when I try to run startmol I get:

% startmol
Copyright (C) 1997-2002 Samuel Rydh <samuel@ibrium.se>
Version 0.9.62 
Error: The MOL kernel module is not loaded

Everything worked fine with an rsync of mol on 4/9.  Checking:

% startmol --list
--------------------------------------------------------------
  Running kernel:         2.4.18-ben0-bill
--------------------------------------------------------------
  Available modules:

--------------------------------------------------------------
  -noav = No AltiVec      -smp  = Multiprocessor Kernel
--------------------------------------------------------------

The only things that look strange are that it indicates I'm running a
multiprocessor Kernel which I'm not and that I don't have altivec when
I do.

% grep SMP /usr/src/linux/.config 
# CONFIG_SMP is not set

% grep ALTIVEC /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_ALTIVEC=y

# grep disable_altivec /etc/molrc
disable_altivec:        no

% cat /proc/cpuinfo

Any ideas?
