(Sorry about the private mail Samuel, didn't look at the reply-to header.)

All right, now I've got a source that builds but it won't run.  (Note: 
source.mvista.com's mol tree seems to be broken, use penguinppc.org as Samuel 
recommended. :)  I mv'd the old /etc/mol out of the way, so config files are 
new.  It will do the same thing trying to boot from a cd.

and it hangs and my cpu meter ramps up to 100% after a couple seconds.  
'startmol --test' comes back fine AFAICT, let me know if you want it.  Also, 
the mol modules also seem to taint my kernel - it this bad?  I'm running 
debian sid on a 7600, and despite what the machine may tell you, it's running 
at G3 450Mhz, not 195Mhz.  Hope this helps. :^)
