First you need to understand that mondoarchive will create your bootable backup set using your running kernel, or the one you precise or a failsafe kernel. Then, whatever you choose, that kernel should be able to support during the boot phase of your mondorestore step your new hardware. Which means either you create a monolithic kernel containing all the drivers needed for that (mainly IDE, SATS, SCSI, RAID controller and/or network drivers if PXE or NFS restore) or you ensure that the right drivers will be loaded during the restore phase by adding them to your /etc/modules.conf file or whatever it is for your distribution. A detailed documentation describing such a process is available at http://mondorescue.berlios.de/docs/HOWTO-_Deploy_Linux_from_SCSI_to_SATA.pdf Thanks to Francois-Xavier.Horel_at_hp.com.
