Hi, I've a DELL server with 6 network cards. The embedded network cards are broadcom and need BNX2. I use clonezilla server edition with the "live" option (Ubuntu lucid image). When my client starts on the lucid image, it displays a list of ready network cards. It seems that the embedded network cards become ready a few seconds after the list is made. So, the client tries to connect to the network with eth2-eth5, which fails (eth0 is the one which can receive an address IP by the DHCP server). I can't deconnect manually network cables each time. How can I force Clonezilla to wait somes seconds more, or force the use of eth0 ? I tried a mknic-nbi -if -n "eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3 eth4 eth5" But without effect. Thanks, Grégoire Leroy |

Try to add a boot parameter in your /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default on the server, in the Clonezilla live section, add: ocs_prerun="sleep 10" to make it wait. I do not test here, so if any problem, please let me know.

Could you please let us know which version of Clonezilla live did you use? We found a problem which might be related to this, and soon we will release another version to address this issue. Steven.
