verify disk 2 stuck

Hello all i am tring to get mondo and mindi to work on my Gentoo box it is a fairly complex setup of course but
mondo seems to be dealing with it sort of OK.

Mondo is running right now and has been for a couple of days now heehee guess us Gentoo fellow have alot of
patients.  Since the system is in single user mode right now so i cannot get alot of info for this list but i
will try from memory

Running Gentoo 2008 did fairly up to date, installed Mondo with emerge i think it is at version 2.2.5.  I would
like to dump an entire machine to new hardware and I am running mondoarchive on that machine.  Choose to use
the Mondo kernel i think ,but mondo still complained about not finding the kernel I did read something
about that somewhere but figured since i was using mondo kernel it would not matter right?

Anyway to make a long story short disk one created and verified successfully while waiting for disk two to be
created.  I place disk one in the new machine and it booted did its magic and is asking for disk 2.  

However disk 2 is stuck on verify at 12% for about 2 hours now could it really take that long? how do I find out
what is going on? please help

Few issues for latest version of Mondo

Hi,

I don't know it is correct or not to post bug report here. But
I'd like report few issues that found in the lastest version of Mondo(2.2.7-1):
I think I should register them to trac later.

- Restored partition is bigger (+8MB) than original size.
  Comment : because Mondo calculate partition size in K byte rather
              in sylinder number.

- Hard links for a file/directory can not be restored correctly.
  Comment:  files having same hard link are tared into different tar-ball.
              They should be together(tar into same tar-ball).

suggesstion/comment is appreciated.

Regards/
Robert

keyboard failing on a dell optiplex 755

Hi,

 

HW:  Dell Optiplex 755, Centos 4.6

 

I’m trying to restore to another 755. However when the DVD boots, Nuke fails, and I get dropped to the prompt. However, the keyboard doesn’t work. I’ve tried several keyboards, all USB based (755 has no PS2). 

 

Any ideas??

 

I’m wondering if it’s the kernel (2.6.9-42.0.10.EL) causing the problem, but I seem to remember 42 was a “good” kernel to use for Mindi.

 

Attached is the Mindi build log (obviously I cant get to the log from the DVD run).

 

Thanks

 

Adrian

CD-ROM drive not recognised

I have been very pleased with Mondo Rescue so far.

I am running Mandriva on a computer shop tower system, Gigabyte motherboard, 
ASUS lightscribe-enabled CD/DVD writer.

I have a backup of Mdv 2008.1 which restores very well.  It seems to run only 
if I do a basic Mandriva install first, and restore over the top of it, but 
there is no problem then.

I have recently upgraded to MDV 2009 and did another backup of that system as 
well.  Naturally, I thought from previous experience that it would boot O.K. 
and didn't test it.

As a result of a buggy kernel from Mandriva, I decided to go back to my 
backup.  Running restore in interactive mode, I see a line flash past saying 
that I have an ATAPI CD-Rom drive, but then it can't mount it, tells me that 
my drive is weird, and I will need to create floppies.  As a result, I have 
no logfiles to show.  I do have the original backup log.

The previous backup still restores (that is what I am using now,) so the 
message about the drive is inaccurate.  In both cases, I used the current 
Mandriva package.

Should I perhaps adopt the successful procedure of doing a basic installation 
from the distro CDs?

Doug.

Re: CD-ROM drive not recognised

P.S.  My processor is an AMD64 sempron, but my system is 32-bit.

I tried booting from floppies, which worked, but then the restore could not 
proceed, saying it could.t find the restore data on a floppy.

Doug.

Mondo Fails on New Netbooks

Mondo goes through the motions with the Acer Aspire One running Fedora 10, but it ultimately fails with the following message. Any suggestions appreciated.

Making 16384KB boot disk...............
udev device manager found

Mondo Fails on New Netbooks

We have gotten a few Mondo commands to now work:

mondoarchive -O -i -d /tmp -G -s 650m -S /tmp -T /tmp (successfully writes ISO files to /tmp)

mondoarchive -OU -d /dev/sdb1 -G -s 4000m -S /tmp -T /tmp (fails where /dev/sdb1 is the unmounted flash drive)

mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbmondo
mondoarchive -O -i -d /mnt/usbmondo -G -s 4300m -S /tmp -T /tmp  (successfully writes ISO file to already open flash drive)
umount /mnt/usbmondo

It appears that Mondo can't figure out how to deal with the Flash drive as configured on the Aspire One with Fedora 10.
And it also has problems with the default temp file setup so that mondoarchive in interactive mode fails. Without the forced
-S and -T settings, all of the above commands fail with the error previously reported.
