It seems to me that I only ever had MOL working when I cheated with
the kernels (in YDL 3 the MOL was compiled for the SMP kernel).

MOL has a nasty tendency of breaking whenever there's an update to the
kernel. Do you have the appropriate kernel headers (corresponding to
your kernel version (uname -a)) installed? On
that-distro-that-shall-not-be-named (when I was running its "beta"
5.04 version) I had to recompile MOL every time there was a kernel
upgrade (I guess no team took on the responsibility of updating MOL
everytime the kernel changed... too much work to keep up-to-date and
too much other stuff for them to get done ;-).
