    Hello everyone,

    since clonezilla_3.0.0-26, I'm not able to boot the iso in grub2.
    The last "clonezilla_2.8.1-12" was workiung perfectly-

    Here my working setting in "/etc/grub.d/40-custom" with 2.8.1-12:

    menuentry "clonezilla-live_2.8.1-12" {
    ISO="/clonezilla-live-2.8.1-12-amd64.iso"
    search --set -f $ISO
    loopback loop $ISO
    linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live union=overlay username=user config components toram=filesystem.squashfs quiet noswap edd=on nomodeset locales>
    initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img
    }

    When I use this setting with 3.0.0-26 or above, it doesn#T work and I got an "out of memory"-Error.

    I cannot find any help or solution and what has changed since clonezilla 3.*

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    best regards!

    What's the RAM size of your machine?
    Is this issue reproducible on the machine with larger RAM? Say >=2 GB RAM?

      Hello Steven,

      the machine is an ASRock N100DC-Board (Intel N100 CPU) with 16GB of Ram.
      The ISO-Image boots from an USB-Stick on this machine without any problem.

    Have you tried the latest one, i.e., Clonezilla live 3.1.3-16?
    "When I use this setting with 3.0.0-26 or above, it doesn#T work and I got an "out of memory"-Error." -> Please take a photo about the error messages on the screen then post it.
    Thanks.

      Hi Steven,

      I was able to fix the problem for clonezilla Version 3.0.0-26.
      In BIOS, I had to switch the "shared memory" for the integrated graphics to "auto" or "64MB" instead of "128MB".
      But this doesn't work for the latest version or even 3.1.0-22. Then again, I get the "out of memory" message:

      Error: out of memory
      Press any key to continue...

      No different "shared memory"-settings solves th problem for 3.1.0-22.

      So, I think it has something to do with the memory of the integrated graphics. But I don't know, if it is "grub2" or "clonezilla" related and what I have to change.

      best regards!

    No idea. We do not encounter this issue, and you are the 1st one reporting this.
    Maybe this is only hardware specific.
    Have you tried that on different brand/model machine?
