Yep, thats the problem with the currwnt Voodoo driver for the Mediator. The
pci.library/voodoo.card now makes use of the MMU (if you installed that
version) and as such Fusion and Shapeshift will not work because they use
thier own MMU routines.

I think others have tried using the NoMMU version of the drivers but they
didnt get any further either.

These problems started with the MediatorUP2.0 and onwards (currently 2.2,
2.3 soon I reckon)

If you go back to the to the updates previous to version 2 it will work (I
had it running here and was just getting used to mac emulation again till
update 2 broke it :-/ )
