Clonezilla server errors with resolv.conf / dhcpd.conf AND PXE

[Michel]

Hi,

I created a Clonezilla server using ubuntu 12.04 and having some problems.

My set up is a desktop with 1 Ethernet port and a virtual adapter.

Normal Interface

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0

Virtual Interface

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.2.1
netmask 255.255.255.0

When i first followed a few guides, the server did work. I was able to clone a machine from the server with ease.

However, the problem started when i asked the client to select the choices when configuring " sudo /usr/sbin/dcs ".

The clonezilla screen would come up, but i couldn't scroll to select the options. So i re-ran the drblpush - i command and i kept getting " NAMESERVER IS UNSET". I changed resolv.conf and added the DNS to be 192.168.1.1 (Which is the ETH0 ip address) Am i doing this right?

I was able to configure drblpush -i since editing the resolv.conf, however, now the clients doesn't load via PXE booting. It says unable to find a DHCP server.

I checked services running on the server and DHCP wasn't running. (Cloenzilla does install DHCP3 correct?).

"I changed resolv.conf and added the DNS to be 192.168.1.1 (Which is the ETH0 ip address) Am i doing this right?" ->
It's better to assign a working nameserver that in your /etc/resolv.conf, e.g.
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
