There is a problem with some files named boot/strings......

Example, in RHEL 3 : /boot/strings_rhel3_vmlinuz-2.4.21-50.EL.txt

Then /boot/strings_rhel3_vmlinuz-2.4.21-50.EL.txt is used by function GetInitrdFilesystemToUse() instead of /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-50.EL

The problem comes from mindi, line 2376 (mindi r3104) :

Line 2376 of /usr/sbin/mindi :

for fname in `find $root -maxdepth 2 -type f | grep -Ei 'lin|kern|xen' | grep -Ev '^/proc/|^/net/'` ; do

I recommend this solution :

# find / -maxdepth 2 -type f | grep -Ei 'lin|kern|xen' | grep -Ev '^/proc/|^/net/|^/lib|^/lib64|^/bin|^/sbin|^/etc|^/mondobackup|^/boot/strings'
