Title: MondoRescue not restoring on 5.6 RAID1 install 2 SCSI drives
Post by: Neririn on April 20, 2004, 12:31:15 AM

I have a mondo rescue CD that I created a while back.  The install that I created it from was a 5.6 RAID 1 install to two 9 gig SCSI drives.  When I try a nuke restore, it bails out after trying to format the Raid Partition and if I switch to interactive mode, I get a segmentation fault when trying to move past the partition creation screen.  

Any ideas?  Did I create my restore CD incorrectly?  Any help will be greatly appreaciated.

Neririn,

Have you tried:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=mondo-devel
with some more specifics of your setup.

While I found Mondo quite useful for a bare metal case,
there is a serious problem with partitioning (partition naming) under SME/e-smith...
In short: if e-smith finds remains of an old linux partitioning there will be
nonstandard partition names on install and a bare metal Mondo-rescue-disk will NOT WORK
but give the error you see... (which may on may not be your prob).
Check your original partition names when doing a manual restore...
