This type of behavior has been discussed quite a bit lately on the mol list, and I've seen it come and go with various kernels and machines. Samuel has done some updates which seem to improve things, but I haven't rolled that work into a new RPM. It looks like I neglected to rebuild kmods after the 18-6mdk->18-6.1mdk, but if you're getting as far as you are I don't think that's the issue. I just tried here at 24, 15, and 16bpp (ati driver in X), and the startup is very slow, much longer than you would expect, and much longer than it was when I had mol running with 2.4.13 at LWE in January. Video response in MacOS is very slow too. I also tried using the fbdev driver at 15bpp, but the startup was about the same. Aside from the slow startup it seems to be working here, with the sheep-net networking able to view my netatalk server etc. I know some folks are running mol successfully, maybe they have some tricks to share.
