I'm currently testing the 2.6.8.x kernels, once I can unmask them to ppc I'll move to the 2.6.9 serie.
Thanks for the notice, I'll try in the weekend to address the problem.

I can't replicate this with 2.6.9-rc4, maybe it's kernel header related.  Which kernel headers are you using?  Or maybe it's been fixed in 2.6.9-rc4, does this still happen?

with 2.6.8 it works well now (for me at least).

with 2.6.9-rc4 it built the mol.ko module but gave errors with tun.ko (I don't think it is currently needed one different from the kernel one) and sheep.ko. I could not save the errors, but it looked like code incompatibility. No problem for me, I don't use sheep, and tun from the system worked right.

with 2.6.9_rc4-mm1 I have not tried. This release seems to work reasonably with my machine, except if froze when I closed the lid. Some work missing with the mm patches, I think. I can't debug a deep freeze like this one.

I have no problems with mol and 2.6.9.  But I'm using linux26-headers-2.6.8.1.

I can't replicate this.  If it's still a problem, please reopen the bug with more information on the kernel headers that you've used.  Thanks!

Just closing.
