    Hi,

    I am using clonezilla with following pxe config:

    label Clonezilla-live v2.6.3 @RAM
    MENU LABEL Clonezilla-live v2.6.3 @RAM
    KERNEL images/clonezilla/vmlinuz
    APPEND initrd=images/clonezilla/initrd.img boot=live username=user union=overlay config components quiet noswap edd=on nomodeset nodmraid locales=de_CH.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=ch ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_batch=no net.ifnames=0 nosplash noprompt fetch=tftp://10.1.1.2/images/clonezilla/filesystem.squashfs

    on my NAS, I CHMOD the PXE folder recursively to 777.
    during PXE, I can see the vmlinuz and initrd.img are requested and delivered, but filesystem.squashfs could not be find.

    when I manually tftp after pxe-boot fails (within the busybox), i can tftp the filesystem.squashfs without problems.

    I am a bit confused....

    Maybe you can find some clues in the server's system log about tftpd? It might give you some hints.

    good idea - but no more information than this:

    I see the timeout, also increased the tftp timeout to 60 seconds..

    Just to compare - here I got the same config with PartedMAgic - and this is WORKING:

    ok guys, very unhappy but got one workaround for people facing same issue...

    i changed FETCH from TFTP --> http:
    fetch=http://10.1.1.2/filesystem.squashfs

    now the config is loading out of the box

    but.. dear CloneZilla Dev's - really?

    No idea actually. Maybe you can change the tftp size in live-boot:
    tftp -g -b 65464 -r $rfile -l ${dest}/$lfile $ip
    where "-b SIZE Transfer blocks of SIZE octets"
    The tftp function does work in our environment, no matter it's in virtual machine cloud environment, computer classroom, or machine room.
    However, yes, http protocol is more robustic than tftp, that's true.
