Hi!
Quick disclaimer: I'm a complete newbie so I'm sure I've done something incredibly stupid. Sorry in advance:)
So, I'm trying to set up a clonezilla server. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. When I start the client it picks up an IP address but then waits for TFTP and I receive a TFTP timeout.

You have to use "dcs" -> clonezilla-start to start Clonezilla service, so that there will be a Clonezilla menu when client boots
Some files are found in /usr/share/drbl//postrun/drbl/. Run them now...
Warning! You already set the /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny!
You must MAKE SURE these clients:
192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.4 192.168.1.5
192.168.1.6 192.168.1.7 192.168.1.8 192.168.1.9

192.168.1.14 192.168.1.15 192.168.1.16
can access this DRBL server!
Otherwise, your client will fail to boot, and error messages will appear like:
TFTP open timeout
TFTP.......
or
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
The number of running NFS services in this DRBL number (0) is not enough for clients, 37 nsfd is expected! The performance will NOT be good! Check the NFS setting in /etc/sysconfig/ or /etc/default/!!! **********.
Hosts.allow was modified with ALL: ALL
Hosts.deny is empty.
Please help, also, sorry for my stupidity:)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Did you check your system logs on the server?
e.g. /var/log/daemon.log, /var/log/syslog, /var/log/messages?
I believe you can find some clues.
BTW, try to reboot your server and test it again. It might help.
