Hi Robert, Thanks a lot for your response. And, yes, your bug report is important to me. ;-)
I've gone back now to the usefulFiles.tar.bz2 file you sent through on 14 Aug 06. /UsefulFiles/MySystem/bootupMessages says you are running your custom kernel on your system. It is really important that you run the stock Debian kernel while you are doing a mondoarchive run. We really need to minimise the differences between the normal and the restore environment and make everything as close to standard as possible. Secondly, /UsefulFiles/Mondo/2.6.16-2-686-smp/bootup.messages starts midway through which is because the kernel ring buffer is too small to hold all the info. It would be great if you could proceed as described here: http://www.mondorescue.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/AndreesStuff - at the bottom under 'Getting the entire kernel log on restore media'. If you were in a position to rerun with the above two changes, i.e. use stock Debian kernel whilst using mondoarchive and read entire kernel ring buffer whilst restoring, and send your helpful files again, that would be really great. Other than that, you could indeed try to change all references from sda to hda in your mountlist for the restore and then answer no at the end when the system asks you whether you changed the mountlist. Best regards, Andree PS: It would be great if you could always cc the bug under [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that we have all information captured in Debian's bug tracking system.
