Alexander Graf posted some patches in March that let MOL run on top of
the KVM (see here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=1267872281-25512-1-git-send-email-agraf%40suse.de )
At least that makes it possible to use MOL on PPC64 machines.
Also Alexander Graf was added to the list of project developers a week
ago.
On the other side I still use a self-compiled MOL version on my AmigaOne
PPC machines (self-compiled because the AmigaOne needs a special MOL version, selected by a compile option - however I guess that could be
made run-time selectable).
So I would really like to see further support for MOL in Debian, but
I'm afraid I lack the knowledge (in software packaging) and time to
do this. Well, I hope MOL will return to Debian as soon as it fully
supports KVM on PPC64 and PPC32 machines.
best regards,
Gerhard
