kernel module mismatch?

I actually had the same config running on my Powerbook G4 before I upgraded to YDL3.0.

from the log it seems you are doing all the right things but to be sure:

- rpm mol --erase                             #erase current versions
- rpm mol-kmods --erase                     
- rpm mol-kmods.x.x.x.rpm --rebuild           #build new versions  (substitute the right name)
- rpm mol.x.x.x.rpm --rebuild

The x.x.x is whatever is the latest build you downloaded. make sure you have the source files in an RPM package.

I found that rebuilding the source is a better choice than installing the binary because of the kernel incompatibilities.
