I have no problem terminating the MOL process.

The kernel panics immediately when booting OS X inside MOL. What strikes me as 
odd is that this did not happpen the first time I booted OS X inside MOL, 
only after I installed the MOL driver package in OS X things started to go 
wrong.

Is there a way to find out where the MOL drivers are stored on the OS X side? 
Maybe it helps to remove these? Can they have anything to do with the kernel 
panic? I doubt it because the kernel panics _immediately_, but you never 
know...
