All those packages are obsolete, and the last one is not even
official.  You must have gotten it from Sven Luther's kernel-image
site, which you probably want to remove from your sources.list
altogether.  It was intended for testing kernels before they got into
the archive, but contains only cruft now.

In order to clean up your mol-modules packages, get rid of all the
installed packages (backup the working self-built module first just in
case a package claims it and kicks it out), then try to reinstall the
package matching your kernel, presumably mol-modules-2.4.25-powerpc.
Make sure you get the latest version from Debian proper,
i.e. 0.9.70+2.4.25+5 at the time of this writing.  You can also
double-check that you got the current version of the
kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc-pmac package, which is 2.4.25-5.  But the
dependencies should take care of that if you just 'apt-get install
mol-modules-2.4.25-powerpc'.

If startmol doesn't work after that, do the modprobe/md5sum thing
again and send me the output.

Regards, Jens.
