Your MOL kernel module is alsmost certainly compiled against
2.4.19 instead of 2.4.19-pre7. I get this error with the
2.4.19-pre6 kernel when I load a mol module compiled
against 2.4.19. I guess I should add a version
incompatible barrier in order to refuse to load the
module in the first place...

Hmm. MOL might not know the ID of newer PowerPC chips.
What does "cat /proc/cpuinfo" say?
