Sarge: mondo problems

["Robert S" <robert.spam.me.senseless@gmail.com>]

I have just upgraded from woody to sarge.  I was previously able to get 
mondo to work by hand-installing mondo/mindi from 
http://www.sorcerer.mirrors.pair.com/sources/ (the woody version caused 
problems).

I have just upgraded from woody to sarge and have removed my custom 
mondo/mindi installations and have installed the sarge versions.  When I try 
to run it with kernel version 2.4.27-2-686 (from the .deb) it bombs, saying 
that "ext2 is not compiled in your kernel" (it *is* present as a module) and 
I am instructed to compile it into my kernel, or that I can upgrade to a 2.6 
kernel.  When I install kernel 2.6.8-2-686 (from the .deb again), it gets as 
far as "I am backing up your live filesystem now." then after backing up 65% 
of my filesystem, I get a "Segmentation fault".  The end of my 
/var/log/mondo-archive.log looks like this (id no error is reported):

Unfortunately mondo is  a tricky beast to get to work.  In the past I've had 
to try multiple versions from the above source, until something works.  I'd 
like to be able to upgrade my work server to sarge, but I'll need to sort 
these issues out first.

Any suggestions?
