Maybe you can test the following, but mandrake usually patch their
kernel with third-party software (alsa, supermount...), so it may be
incompatible for mol with the initial benh one you've installed.

[Download message RAW]
I built up a mol-kmods against the kernel-benh-4mdk:
http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~sbenedict/cooker-ppc/mol-kmods-benh-0.9.66-1mdk.ppc.rpm
srpm is there also, but not real useful as I built it against the
kernel build tree still in my ~/rpm/BUILD
Works on my powerbook.
