Thanks for your feedback.
Could you please run "drbl-bug-report" on your DRBL server and share the generated file?
It's easier for us to debug. Thanks.

[robina80]

[Steven Shiau]

Sure, please email me at steven@clonezilla.org
Thanks.

Did you have any error messages when you run "drblsrv -i" and "drblpush -i"?
It seems the linux kernel for your DRBL clients does not exist...
Here my test went well:

steven@noble-efi:~$ sudo drbl-proxy-dhcp enable

Maybe you run "drblsrv -i" and "drblpush -i" again? If it's OK for you?
