mol.o loaded, but startmol still complains

[Thomas Otto]

Hi!

I have an iBook with Debian sid and my custom build benh10 kernel. So 
additionally to the mol stuff i got the mol-modules package and compiled 
the and installed the kernel headers.
So far no problems, and I proceed with the (excellent btw, though I miss 
a search function) User Guide.

# startmol -V
Mac-on-Linux 0.9.69 # actually apt-get show says 0.9.69+20030526-1

# startmol --loadonly
Mac-on-Linux 0.9.69 Copyright (C) 1997-2003 Samuel Rydh

Loading Mac-on-Linux kernel module:
    /lib/modules/2.4.20-benh10-ibook/misc/mol.o
fine, also works with '-e' of course. But then:

# startmol  --test
Mac-on-Linux 0.9.69 Copyright (C) 1997-2003 Samuel Rydh
Starting MOL session 0
Error: The MOL kernel module is not loaded

even though lsmod says:
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
mol                    45272   0  (unused)

When I remove the module again and then immedeately run the test it even 
says:
  # startmol --test

/boot/System.map-2.4.20-benh10-ibook is present, only vt1 - vt5 (ttys) + 
vt7 (X) are used. In my kernel I have no Altivec support and yes, I did 
use google :)

So, what now? Any hints appreciated.

I also tried to load the molsymglue module but this gave me a
Kernel Oops (cool, the first ever on the iBook, though after exiting the 
debugger I could continue (but before I did any more mol experiments I
rebootet ;-))
