Re: compiling kernel
Although mounting your MacOS disks automatically eases moving your
kernels, mounted MacOS disks are read-only disks if you run MOL. If your
primary disk is read-only, upon MOL startup the app will hang. MOL needs
a read-write partition. Took me a while to figure out why I had problems
with MOL on my DebianLombard.
