I've just used it with good results without the -k FAILSAFE option after recompiling my kernel. According to http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/download/layout.html III. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 2. Linux Kernel Support 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) * floppy disk 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 After compiling these into the kernel everything worked fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
