So you don't need 2.4 kernel for mol. get the mol source and build it yourself, see the list archives for a patch i posted which will make it compile and go into /usr/local/ where it belongs. setup a 2.2.18 source tree (preferably matching your current 2.2 kernel) and do a make dep first, that way the MOL kernel modules will match your current kernel without errors or warnings. > I found a pre-compiled version on the net, and set it up as follows: precompiled kernels suck IMO. ;-) > As root, I put the vmlinux produced by untarring and unzipping the tar.gz > file of linux-ppc in the /boot.
