I have been using Clonezilla Live for some time and I would now like to try using Clonezilla SE. I dowloaded the latest DRBL Live ISO (drbl-live-xfce-1.0.2-46-i686.iso) and used tuxboot to put this on a USB flash drive. I have used this flash drive to boot a spare PC. Once the GUI comes up, I click on the Clonzilla Server icon to get things going. I choose 'dhcp' to configure the network card. Since there is only one network card, I choose 'Y' to the question "Do you want to lease IP addresses to PXE/Etherboot clients only". The file that I want to send to the clients is on a Windows file server, so I select the option to connect to a samba server and provide all of the needed config. I next choose to set the mode for "All" clients. I then go through setting up the Clonezilla mode options and choose the image to restore. I select "multicast restore" and "clients-to-wait" with 1 client. I eventually end up at a message that says "DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOW UNTIL CLIENTS FINISH THE CLONE!" at which time I boot the PC via the network controller. The PC gets an IP address (verified via 'cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases' on the DRBL Live server) and begins booting the DRBL client. After the main splash screen some lines of text scroll by and then things seem to stop. I've waited several minutes to see if anything will happen, but nothing seems to be going on. When I press 'Enter' on the client PC I get a command prompt ('#') with a few commands available. Am I supposed to run a command here to start the process? Have I done something wrong? Both the DRBL server and the PC client are connected to the same switch, so I hope that eliminates any potential multicast issues for my test. Where should I begin troubleshooting? Thanks! - Paul |

This are still some issues about testing DRBL live, especially the unfs3 issue. Please give stable DRBL a try. Steven.

Steven, Thanks for the reply. What I've found is that the stable version of DRBL Live will not detect the network card on a Dell Optiplex 380. The testing version of DRBL Live does find the 380's network card. When I PXE boot the Optiplex 380 from a stable version of DRBL Live, the network card is not detected. It is detected when I PXE boot the 380 from a testing version. When I PXE boot an Optiplex 360 from a stable version of DRBL Live, it's network card is detected. But when I PXE boot the 360 from a testing version, the card is not detected. Do you know if there will soon be a version (stable or testing) with a client that will support both the Optiplex 360 and 380?

Hi Paul, I will try to have one recently to see if the unfs3 issue still exists or not. For the time being, you can try (in a machine with RAM >= 1 GB): 1. Boot drbl-live-xfce-1.0.2-46 2. Configure the network to connect to internet 3. In the command line prompt, run: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install drbl clonezilla partclone sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-ocs-live-prep -i http://downloads.sourceforge.net/clonezilla/clonezilla-live-1.2.8-23-i686.iso Ref: http://clonezilla.org/use_clonezilla_live_in_drbl.php Then you can use it as normal case, i.e. double clicks on the Clonezilla SE icon to start it. If you encounter any problem, please let me know. Steven. On 2011/3/30 上午 01:29, Paul Warren wrote: > Steven, > > Thanks for the reply.

Hi Paul, Could you please give DRBL live 1.0.5-6 a try? This release uses linux kernel 2.6.38, and it might support your hardware. Please let me know the results after you use that. Thanks. Steven.
