[Mac-on-linux-users] MOL on PowerBook with OS9 Partition

[Veldfire <vel...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have a 400MHz Pismo PowerBook with 756 MB RAM. I am running OpenSUSE
10.2 with a 2.6.20.2 kernel. I have an OS 9.2 partition.

I just downloaded and installed from source mol 0.9.72.1. I ran molvconf=
ig
(as root) and changed only the following in /etc/mol/molrc.macos:

ram_size:		128
and commented out
#    blkdev:		/dev/hdb	-rw
#    blkdev:		/dev/sda	-rw
#    blkdev:		/dev/sdb	-rw

The following is the output I get when I run startmol:

And there it seems to hang. CPU usage goes up to 100%. I get a 640x480 X=

window with "Mac-on-Linux" in the titlebar. It starts off blank light gr=
ey
and after about 2 minutes the background colour changes to a slightly
darker grey and that's it.

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks,
Jean
