The simple answer is to save the image in the same drive location as
it will be when you restore and when it is supposed to boot.   Perhaps
you used a USB boot into clonezilla-live that made the USB device
become /dev/sda and shifted all the other devices down.

The less simple answer is to run grub yourself after the restore with
the right options for the root and setup commands - where 'right' will
depend on the current relative disk position and your system's bios
concepts.    The error message you didn't bother with might have given
you a hint about them.
