Hi, I'm trying to use Clonezilla live in a machine that will boot using PXE through its interface eth1. This machine can redirect the console using Serial over Lan with its own hardware and is configured to do so. I added live-getty and console=ttyS0,115200n8 to the kernel command line but I'm having a strange problem. When I'm looking at the serial console, after booting clonezilla, there is output at the console as expected, but some output also goes to the VGA. And it's not the same output. Is like there are two different clonezilla instances in tty1 and ttyS0. They even start cloning the same partitions at diferent times messing all up. At the end one can go to the command line on both consoles and evidently they are two different processes. I hope I had explained the problem clearly. Is there a way to avoid this? To make clonezilla run just in one console? May be this is caused because of the uncommon scenario in which I'm running clonezilla, because I couldn't find much information about this problem on the net. I used clonezilla-live-1.2.2-31 for this test. So I tried with clonezilla-live-1.2.3-15 and the ubuntu based, but there I had another problem. The live-netdev="eth1" is apparently ignored. While running the initrd the ipconfig command tries to configure eth0 using dhcp and does never time out. I hacked the live script inside the image a bit, to replace the DEVICE variable with the value of live-netdev and with some other modifications I could make it start, but the problem of the duplicated clonezilla instances persist. My main problem is this of the console redirection, but I would also like to report the problem I found booting from eth1 if it isn't known. Thanks, Santiago. |
