There is no such package in Debian.  You probably have
kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc-pmac.

This is not the source tree your kernel is built from.  If you want
that, use 'apt-get source kernel-image-2.4.25-powerpc-pmac', which
will pull in everything that is needed to rebuild your kernel. You
probably don't want to rebuild your kernel at all, but since you bring
it up ...

There is no need to get the whole rsync tree if you want to use mol in
Debian.  Just install the Debian packages.  If they don't work, find
out what is wrong.  If it's my fault, report a bug.

Of course, since you were not using the correct source tree in the
first place (see above).

The Debian packages for the mol modules are built for the Debian
package for mol.  But you should be able to run 'modprobe mol' and
then find the module in the output of 'lsmod'.  Running your
self-built emulator on top of that module is a different issue, it may
be possible or not.
