I have installed Mondo to make a cd backup clone/rescue of my system. I am getting some errors and am wondering if I have a compatible kernel. My system is as follows:
Release 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial Xerus) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 4.4.0-45-generic x86_64
MATE 1.12.1
Does the Kernel information above meet the following Mondo requirements?
3.6.2. Kernel Requirements
Your kernel must have:
stable loopfs support, which means it really needs to be 2.2.19 or 2.4.7 (or later)
CD-ROM device support
ISO9660 file system support
initrd ramdisk support
(built-in)Virtual memory file system support
(built-in)ext2 file system support (built-in)
Support for the backup media (Tape, CD-RW, NFS, Hard disk)
If the backup media is CD-RW then you need SCSI emulation
Also vfat support in the active kernel - mindi needs this when creating
syslinux boot media.
Please note that the stock kernels of Red Hat/RHEL/Fedora, Mandrake/Mandriva, SuSE/SLES/OpenSuSE, Debian and Slackware all meet Mondo’s requirements. If your kernel does not meet Mondo’s requirements then there is something wrong with it.
Mondo’s demands are not unreasonable. Mondo (specifically Mindi) does not require any specific
module. It does require that your kernel support the initrd initial ramdisk facility. Typically this is supported by the Linux kernel. Modules used are needed to support the CD, hard disks, etc. If the support is modular, then the modules will be incorporated in a boot disk by Mindi. If the support is built-in (static), then it will be available at boot-time by default.
Also am I correct when I am putting the path to the kernel in when going through the setup on Mondo by entering: " /boot/config-4.4.0-45-generic" ???
Thanks for your support!
