MOL

[Emersom Satomi]

I googled a lot, searched the MOL and Yellow Dog list archives, the YDL 
board...  but It seems that only me and Chis Tou are having this problem:

startmol --loadonly
Mac-on-Linux 0.9.71-pre1 [Aug 27 2004 16:38]

Starting MOL session 0
The kernel module '/usr/lib/mol/0.9.71/modules/2.6.9-1.ydl.8/sheep.o' appears 
to be missing.

Got this error from the beginning, after a fresh install of Yellow Dog 4 on a 
PowerMac G4 400 MHz. Same error with sudo or su. The macos partition have OS 
9.1, updated from OS 9.
Updated mol-kmods-0.9.71-0.ydl.1.ppc.rpm to 
mol-kmods-0.9.71-0.ydl.2.ppc.rpm, but still can`t start mol. Same error.
There is no sheep.o kernel module anywhere in my system. 
Only /dev/sheep_net.
Checked inside the mol-kmods RPM (with mc) and found that there isn't any 
sheep.o kernel module there too.
Jusf for curiosity, checked inside an old mol-kmods (0.9.68-1.8d.ppc.rpm, from 
YelloyDog 3.  I used to run mol with no problems in YDL3), and sheep.o kernel 
module is there! But can't use it, it's for an older kernel. 

I can boot with no problems in macos9, but everytime I need it, have to wait 
the reboot and can`t access the linux partition. 
Don`t have OS X installed, so I don`t know if MOL could start OSX.
 
Any hints?
