Unable to use mondo on RHEL4U4

Description
I have downloaded and installed successfully theses packages : ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/U4/
I'm running RHEL4U4 on a Core Duo architecture.
The mindi command generate a bootable CDROM, but the module installation fails. I've tried earlier version of mindi / mindi-busybox packages and I obtained the same behavior.
I've tried Q2 and Q4 tips of the Mondo Rescue FAQ, with no change neither.
Here is an extract of the generated CDROM boot sequence, I can also provide the entire log :
Extracting /ataraid.tgz... Extracting /ida.tgz... Extracting /rd.tgz... Extracting /raw.tgz... Extracting /cciss.tgz... Extracting /nst.tgz... Extracting /dm.tgz.ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_scsi_ioctl ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_std_bios_param ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_tf_read ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_tf_load ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_bmdma_start ata_piix: Unknown symbol ata_std_postreset
If you have any idea about the cause of this problem, please let me know,
thanks, Jean-Laurent

Could you also provide your /var/log/mindi.log please (on the original system)

If there's a way to enable a verbose mode to know what's wrong, just let me know.
In the initrd I found that the modules were located in the appropriate directory /lib/modules/uname -r directory. It looks like the insmod command fails loading the modules. Is it possible that there's something wrong between the busybox implementation of insmod and the compiled modules ?
NOTE : Don't get confused with the RHEL4U3... RHEL4U5 partitions. I'm really using RHEL4U4 but I also have these grub entries to be able to boot on the other RHEL versions.

Ok, please try with more recent versions. There are just upper on the ftp site. 2.2.5 is still beta but should have fixes for your problem. Your mindi.log is incomplete as run with makemountlist param.

Hi Bruno,
I have attached my new log and generation files. It looks like the error messages concerning unknown symbol have not disappeared but I'm able to have a prompt.
I probably have to customize the initrd to add the missing files and libs.
I've only tested the mindi command for now.
Once this phase is ok, I'll do some extra testing with mondo for a complete disaster recovery backup.
thanks for you feedback,

From your log files, it seems you're booting using a USB CD-ROM drive with the mindi CD in it. Is that also the environment you had at backup time ?
If not, please mount your USB CD also at backup time, or use the FORCE_MODS variable in mindi code to force the right drivers to be part of your backup.

You're right, I only plugged the CDROM to boot on the Mindi generated CDROM

Hi Bruno,
I didn't have time to check that the global mondorescue is working, but mindi seems ok. You can leave the ticket closed. I'll let if I'm facing new troubles.
Thanks for your feedback, Jean-Laurent
Here is an entire log of my boot sequence (old version of mindi, but same behavior with those provided here : ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/U4/mindi-1.2.1-1.rhel4.i586.rpm )
