I just emerge'd mondo. I'm playing around with it. I've tried running 'mondoarchive' a number of times without success. I'm running it from the live filesystem. The first time it bombed out saying something about /etc/lilo.conf not existing. I use grub, so I just did 'touch /etc/lilo.conf'. It allowed it to get past that part, but then it died while running mindi saying that it "Failed to generate boot+data disks". When I run mindi manually, I see lots of errors about not being able to create temp files. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
Questions:
1) Did you mount /boot yourself?
I don't have a separate /boot. This box is still my original Gentoo install from over a year ago. I'm still using the same partitions I was 3 or 4 years ago with Slackware. Back then, I didn't know much about Linux, and I just haven't bothered to fix this.
2) Do you have the link from /boot/grub/menu.lst to /etc/grub.conf ?
I never created /boot/grub/menu.lst since I wasn't planning on using any older versions of grub. So I symlinked /etc/grub.conf to /boot/grub/grub.conf which is an actual file instead of a symlink to /boot/grub/menu.lst.
Have you actually run mondoarchive yet? I'm interested to hear from someone who has used it successfully under Gentoo.
