Using Rear 1.18 / Git
OS-Version SLES 11 SP3 (+ OES11 on TOP)
Kernel-Version: 3.0.101-0.47.71-default
OS_VENDOR=SUSE_LINUX
OS_VERSION=11
ReaR Config: /etc/rear/local.conf

OUTPUT=ISO
BACKUP=NETFS
BACKUP_URL=sshfs://sambasave@10.2.3.4/home/sambasave/Backup

MODULES_LOAD=( vmxnet vmxnet3 e1000e e1000 fuse hpsa )
USE_DHCLIENT=Yes
DHCLIENT_BIN=dhclient

END

Issue:
The Kernel stops booting while complainig about Memory C-Groups

Work-Around:
I added "cgroup_disable=memory" to the initrd kernel parameters as suggested by the error message
now it looks like this:
append initrd=initrd.cgz root=/dev/ram0 vga=normal rw selinux=0 cgroup_disable=memory console=tty0 auto_recover
Question: Is there a line in line for this in local.conf?

Thanks for reading!

I never used that particular configuration variable myself
but usr/share/rear/conf/default.conf
reads:

# append special kernel parameters on rescue media
KERNEL_CMDLINE=""

Please try in /etc/rear/local.conf

KERNEL_CMDLINE="cgroup_disable=memory"

and provide feedback if that makes it work for you.

FYI regarding

BACKUP_URL=sshfs://...
...
MODULES_LOAD=( ... fuse ... )

Currently the MODULES_LOAD functionality seems not to work,
see https://github.com/rear/rear/pull/905
and https://github.com/rear/rear/commit/0ec871676b7cdc52461574200c8a54867d0cfb37

No feedback.

With the fallback assumtion that "no news is good news"
I close it now.

Yes. IT works.
