Description
When I run mindi, it asks me :
"Do you want to use your own kernel to build the boot disk ([y]/n) ?"
I answer it "n", but my own kernel is still used.
Here is a tiny patch against the mindi script of the mindi-2.0.0-1.rhel4.src.rpm package that I downloaded today (11/14) :

I use the failsafe kernel because the kernel of my RHEL4.5 hangs or panics.

You could also use a parallel kernel (previous verion) with the -k option. It's easier.
Applied to rev [1809] THanks.
Out of curiosity why do you need the failsafe kernel ? Nowadays everybody should be fine with its distro kernel.
