For the record, which version of MOL are you using?

What kernel version are you using? Older version of the 2.4 
series were plauged by VM problems. MOL stresses the VM subsystem 
quite a bit and tends to expose these kinds of bugs.

No. MOL basically does not care about the processor type (as long
as it is not a 601 or 603).
