Well, i tried using the latest mindi and latest mondo source code and the
kernel listed for debian users at the mondo said and it still failed
horribly. With the last setup writing to the CDRW even made my kernel
panic so now after more some 15 hours it's enough, i give up.
I think the problem lies in my custom build kernel although i enabled
initrd on it. On a side note, i will try once to build a kernel with
initial ram disk support. I did a quick test but that failed (something
about init interrupted or something)
Anyway, are there similar products out there for backups (bootable) which
are less fussy about debian?
Regards,
Benedict
