MOL stops loading

[Michael Stroh]

Hello. In the past week I installed yellow dog linux and mol onto my G4 
(dual 533 with 1.25 GB ram). I have not yet been able to have mol work 
properly for me (for either OS 9 or OS X). I have two hard drives. The 
master is a 120 GB drive with three partitions: 30 GB for linux and 20GB 
(hda10) and 60 GB (hda11) for mac file/application storage. The slave 
only has one partition (hdb5) that is set aside for OS 9.2 and OS 10.2.8 
system folders and OS X applications.

When I attempt to load OS X using mol, it makes it to a blue screen 
which shows the mouse cursor and seems to freeze there (this is after it 
has the inital screen with the little circle/loading icon where it seems 
to run fine). Below is the terminal output. It seems to freeze after 
"+Video Driver v1.12" and just sits on the blue screen. Sometimes it 
loads a window that says "Mac OS X" or something along those lines and 
the window doesn't have anything else on it. The commands below that 
line are the result of me closing the mol window. I have tried messing 
around with the file /etc/mol/molrc.osx but that doesn't seem to help much.

I can still load either MacOS through reboot but just can't get mol 
configured correctly. Any comments or assistance will be greatly 
appreciated!

Thanks,
Michael Stroh
