Sounds like do-able :-)

I got your point but I used to compile my own kernels from Ben's tree
and never had any problem. Since I tried to use
kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc-pmac for various reasons (e.g. alsa drivers,
cd-rom stuff), I wasn't able to compile the mol modules for this kernel.
This is the reason why I wanted to get a correct source tree
corresponding to the kernel I run.

OK, I should be able to locate mol related things.

Here we go:

tsfmok# modprobe -l mol\*
/lib/modules/2.4.25-powerpc/misc/mol.o

tsfmok# md5sum /lib/modules/2.4.25-powerpc/misc/mol.o
35fb76ad1a0879eb81ee6054c3e5a95e  /lib/modules/2.4.25-powerpc/misc/mol.o

BUT

I removed everything related to MOL except the config files : 'apt-get
remove mol' + 'rm -fr /usr/local/bin/mol* /usr/local/lib/mol/*'
and then re-installed the Debian package 'apt-get install mol
mol-drivers-macosx mol-drivers-linux' and it seems to run fine now.

Sorry for the mess :-)
