The author (and upstream maintainer) of MOL died about a year or so
ago. A couple of folks offered to pick it up, but they may not have
the energy and dedication that he had.
Also, see http://maconlinux.org/news.html which claims that "Mar 21,
2004 Mac-on-Linux 0.9.70 is out!" and lists as part of the new features
"• Support for the 2.6 kernel". Admittedly, "Support for the 2.6
kernel" is ambiguous -- it may mean MOL runs on a 2.6 kernel, or it may
mean a 2.6 kernel runs on MOL. I have no personal experience with it.

Well... MOL does it pretty well :) It's more difficult but

possible
without too much performance loss.
Still, it is currently impossible to run a linux 2.6 kernel on top
of MOL.
Irrelevant. That's a detail of nobody taking the time to fix the bug.
The mecanism used by MOL would work for something like Xen which was
my
point.
Technically, perhaps. But MOL not supporting 2.6 is not irrelevant
from the user's perspective.
If it doesn't work--regardless of where the problem lies; whether MOL,
2.6, or the underlying hardware--it's still broken. Given the lack of
mention of support for the year-old 10.4(Tiger) and that 2.6 is >2
years old; I wouldn't be surprised to find that MOL is an inactive
project.
But I hold out hope....
