Let the original init take place.

[Mathias Jespersen]

Hi.

I have some issues with CloneZilla server. When I start the server, and choose whether I want to save or restore image, the clients ARE able to PXE-boot, but during the initial phase, they come up with a "Let the original init take place" error. I have re-run CloneZilla configuration and downloaded a few missing packs related to Clonezilla, but that work either.

I haven't been able to find much help at search engines.

Any ideas?

Please follow
http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/#bug-report
to provide the very detail steps you have done so that we can see what went wrong there.

Or you can try this new, but testing feature:

Hi Steven

Thanks for the reply.

Do you think CloneZilla live will work with Ubuntu 9.10? Appearantly there are issues related to Karmic boot scripts.

I found this thread with more information about the error message: https://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/forums/forum/799287/topic/3459318
Actually I can see, that you are the one who posted it :-)

Where can I find DRBL unstable for Ubuntu 9.10? I haven't been able to find the package on their website or a download link to add to Ubuntus repository.

It doesn't seem to appear in Synaptics either.

Anyway. If the Live CD edition is functioning in Ubuntu 9.10, I wouldn't mind giving it a shot. If not, I'm probably going to re-intall the server, with a (properly) supported OS like SuSe.

You can follow
http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-server-edition/use_clonezilla_live_in_drbl.php
to use Clonezilla live as the OS of clients when your clients are running Clonezilla job.
Remember you have to add DRBL's repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list.
