I am trying to do a restore of an image to a workstation that recently had its hard drives replaced due to failure. The replacement drives are SAS types, and did not have any filesystems formatted on them when they were installed on the workstation. The .iso files total fourteen in number and each are about 650 megabytes. When I insert the first CD into the workstation's DVD/RW drive, the boot sequence commences but then hangs at the point where the message:
Freeing unused kernel memory: 236k freed
appears on-screen.
I let the system stay in that status for about five minutes before having to reboot the workstation. When an operating system CD is installed into the workstation, it is able to detect the harddrives without any difficulty.
What is going on here, and what can I do to correct it? Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solutionmondorescue is not going to be able to detect the disk unless its the same type of disk that the system had when it was imaged.
The OS recognizes the hardware, mondorescue does not.
What you can do is:
Base OS install.
mount -o loop filename
From the iso files you should be able to extract restore information.

Re: Problem with mondorescue 2.2.8 restore
Thanks for your reply. Extracting the files is one thing, but if I want to do the actual installation of all fourteen .iso files onto the system. It seems I would I need to take to accomplish the goal of restoring the workstation to its original configuration. After extracting the files, how can I do the restoration?

Re: Problem with mondorescue 2.2.8 restore
FORCE_MODS="diskdumplib diskdump mptbase mptscsi mptspi mptsas mptscsih ata_piix crc32 mii
pcnet32 sunrpc nfs nfs_acl lockd loop"
More than likely you do not have mptsas built into your initrd for mondo.

Re: Problem with mondorescue 2.2.8 restore
I tried creating a mindi boot disk on a similar system with the additions to the FORCE_MODS line that were suggested in an earlier posting. I then created the mindi boot disk, and brought it to the system in question. The same hanging situation that I described in my original posting occurred with the mindi boot disk.
If I try booting with the livecd, am I doing an install of it onto the hard drive or am I simply running it in RAM, and doing the mondorestore from there?

Re: Problem with mondorescue 2.2.8 restore
I had one idea: boot the system with a Knoppix LiveCD, mount the hard drive devices, and do the install that way.
That does bring up another question: Assuming that Knoppix does not come with mondorescue, how can I install or run the restore CD's?
