I've just used it with good results without the -k FAILSAFE option after
recompiling my kernel.
According to http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/download/layout.html
III. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2. Linux Kernel Support
Your kernel must have:
* stable loopfs support, which means it really needs to be 2.2.19 or
2.4.7 (or later)
* CD-ROM device support
* ISO9660 file system support
* initrd ramdisk support (built-in)
* Virtual memory file system support (built-in)
* floppy disk support (built in)
* ext2 file system support (built-in)
* Support for the backup media(Tape, CD-RW, NFS, Hard disk)
* If the backup media is CD-RW then you need SCSI emulation also
After compiling these into the kernel everything worked fine.
