startmol fails

[Mad Scientist]

I tried startmol, but it just brings up this:

Code: Select all

Mac-on-Linux 0.9.69 Copyright (C) 1997-2003 Samuel Rydh
Starting MOL session 0
====================================================================
  No mol-0.9.69 kernel modules corresponding to the running
  2.4.22-2f kernel were found ('startmol --list' displays
  installed version). Recompile the mol kernel modules (recommended)
  or try starting MOL as root using the '-a' switch. The '-a'
  flag can be made default by the 'allow_kver_mismatch: yes' setting.
====================================================================


what is wrong?

have u tried to start mol from a term as root with the -a option that they specify?


Edit: well after reading some stuff on the mol website www.MacOnLinux.org id say open up a term (within x) su to root then type "startmol -a --;oadonly" and if you get any errors post them there. /Edit

Dr. Clint posted an excellent FAQ written by our resident YDL sawbones,
Dr. David Hacker, on this very subject. You can check it out here:

hi,

started out with the same problem.
followed the instructions and took parts the user guide on
http://www.maconlinux.org/

after few changes startmol -X worked and I got my full screen OSX.

Basically I did the testing and supplied the boot partition in the config.
The page walks you through really nice.

So have fun.
