The kernel is also from the Debian package.
I got the latest mol-sources (0.6.69 from rsync.penguinppc.org::mol), 
recompiled everything (using gcc-2.95.4 2001100), changed 
allow_kver_mismatch: from yes to no, started mol and it works now fine. Did 
you compile the mol package with the new default gcc 3.2?

BTW, why do you don't add a option to the mol package to install startmol as 
setuid root? I want that everybody of my family can run mol once he/she has 
logged in.

Best regards
