I ask for assigning, for my bad English!
I have a little bit played with mondo!
I use: sme 7.0rc3,
mondo-2.0.8-4.rhel4.i386.rpm
mindi-1.0.8-4.rhel4.i386.rpm
afio-2.4.7-1.i586.rpm
mondo-doc-2.0.8-4.rhel4.noarch.rpm
My “sme” has one sata non removable disk!
I provided a Backup of “sme” on CD!
I have this Backup on another PC, with IDE non removable disk,
and same network cards back secured!
And it run!
But, that was not simple!
a few notes: must edit /etc/mindi/deplist.txt before run mondoarchive,
there add binaries- libs- and module-files for raid and lvm!
run mondoarchive and Exclude all virtuell filesystem (proc...)
must boot new bootcd, and then on tty2-console
manually create auto-raid-partitions,
create mknods /dev/md1 /dev/md2, create md1 and md2,
format dev/md1, create lvm main on /dev/md2,
create lvm partitions in main, format partititions main-root
and main-swap, Oops activate main-root main-swap!
p.s. the file "i-want-my-lvm" is in /tmp
now you can run at tty1 manually restore!
no change fstab!
no partitions erase/create!
no format partitions!
write files back!
grub install has failed,
mount/change to directory where (sme) /boot, and type
grub
grub> root=(hd0,0)
grub> setup=(hd0)
grub> exit
Mongo has problems lvm on raid kompfortable to support!
Also many changes, “mondo/mindi & sme” can co-operate,
even with specially features:
migration/hdd change/raid (1,0,5,10) create!
Or not, you install simply sme, afterwards mongo, afterwards mongo restore, completely (untested)

Would it work to run the SME setup in order to partition and prepare
the hard disk, then run mondorestore again but say 'no' when
asked if you want Mondo to prep or format your drives. ?
I Say, no you must first edit deplist.txt (add dm-mod)!
mindi/mondo Say, no with one hd in raid, dont running raid!
But, it makes the steps on console tty2 easy! raid and lvm created and formatted!
