Well, i tried using the latest mindi and latest mondo source code and the kernel listed for debian users at the mondo said and it still failed horribly. With the last setup writing to the CDRW even made my kernel panic so now after more some 15 hours it's enough, i give up. I think the problem lies in my custom build kernel although i enabled initrd on it. On a side note, i will try once to build a kernel with initial ram disk support. I did a quick test but that failed (something about init interrupted or something) Anyway, are there similar products out there for backups (bootable) which are less fussy about debian?
