I would be most interested in the ML note that lead you to the conclusion
about "MMNL absent" notes being caused by the undo tablespace. I found the
following note: Note:567562.1
I will quote the most important part:
Cause
The Memory Monitor Light (MMNL) process is a new process in 10g which
works with the Automatic Workload Repository new features (AWR) to write
out full statistics buffers to disk as needed. These messages can be
generated if you have the database in restricted mode.

Solution
Messages are informational only. They will stop once the database is no
longer in restricted mode.
As for the "I don't know what is it waiting for", I believe that 10g
might have
tables like V$SESSION_WAIT and V$SESSION_EVENT for that purpose.
