Got a laptop here (Samsung X22), WinXP Pro and data partition in /dev/sda[23].
Wrote this script to backup both partitions 1:1 to an external USB disk.
Teh script itself works absolutely as intended.
BUT: I added an entry to GRUB's menu.lst like that:
title Windows XP Backup
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-686 root=/dev/sda5 rw
init=/sbin/windows_backup
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-686
savedefault
When I select that entry, kernel comes up, script is executed alright, but
after the script called
"halt" it just sits there and eventually throws a kernel panic - and I have no
clue why.
If someone has pointers?
(Messages partly in german but I added comments. If anything is unclear just
ask.
But not about that it's newbie-ish, I know that :) )
