Description

Graphics screens that come up when running mondorestore from a CD that was burned from an ISO image are garbled.

See the photos

Fedora Core 4

[mark@buckeye ~]$ rpm -q newt mindi mondo newt-0.51.6-7 mindi-1.2.4-1.fc4 mondo-2.2.4-1.fc4

The problem has also been reported on RHEL 5. In that report, the author stated that the problem happens only when booting from the CD made from an ISO. The problem did not occur when running mondorestore from the command line of a live system.

A test should be done using TERM=vt100 or other settings at boot time + using the right terminfo content (should now be more ok)

TERM=console may be another solution
