just a strange problem.
clonezilla worked perfectly for 6 weeks but now…
here what i do and it works
just installed debian from install cd
sda1 -> / -> primary
sda2 -> -> extended
sda5 -> /home -> logical
sda6 -> /data_01 -> logical
sda7 -> SWAP -> logical
just think i did not write what i'm doing with clonezilla
-choose language
- choose kaymap
- start clonezilla
- disk/partition to disk-partition
- local to local
- expert mode but i leave (live???) default options
- expert mode one more time and i leave (default options)
- 4 questions (do u want to start, are u sure u want to start, do u want to clone partition table…)… anything like this, can't remember but always answered yes
clonezilla runs…
when i said "running clone from an USB key", it was clonezilla from and USB key
when i said "after changing UUIDs into sdb an his fstab, update-grub", it's sda's update-grub

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
into BIOS, option legacy USB support was set as enable
i set it as disable and clones can boot now.
strange, because never changed this option into BIOS. i use BIOS only to choose to boot from my USB stick clonezilla instead of CD-ROM or hard disk.
i've only an error message
"such device UUID xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx not found"
but immediatly after UUID is ok and clone runs
Before this, i did not have error messages
i was into menu to choose, normal or single user start, but when i chose, menu did diseapear and nothing happened. locked into screen with the earth, nothing else.
will tell news into few weeks, in order to be sure
Question:
do u think virtualbox with a windows xp virtual machine and USB support can change BIOS options?
if not, really i can't tell what happened.

Hello,
just a strange problem.
clonezilla worked perfectly for 6 weeks but now…
here what i do and it works
just installed debian from install cd
sda1 -> / -> primary
sda2 -> -> extended
sda5 -> /home -> logical
sda6 -> /data_01 -> logical
sda7 -> SWAP -> logical
or
sda1 -> / -> primary
sda2 -> -> extended
sda3 -> SWAP -> primary
sda5 -> /home -> logical
sda6 -> /data_01 -> logical
i can clone, no error reported.
after changing UUIDs into sdb an his fstab, update-grub.
clone can boot, no problem
ok now i add 1 partition (logical) (resizing sda6 before and adding sda7)
make changes
clone can't boot.
sda is ext3, sdb too
sdb is external HDD
running clone from an USB key.
worked perfectly when did not add partition(s)
i don't think this a clonezilla problem but i'm asking just in case…
do u have any idea? anything to change into the clone?
thx

"clone can't boot." -> What are the error messages during booting?

hi,
ok, problem solved. I'm in test for many days.
into BIOS, option legacy USB support was set as enable
i set it as disable and clones can boot now.
strange, because never changed this option into BIOS. i use BIOS only to choose to boot from my USB stick clonezilla instead of CD-ROM or hard disk.
i've only an error message
"such device UUID xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx not found"
but immediatly after UUID is ok and clone runs
Before this, i did not have error messages
i was into menu to choose, normal or single user start, but when i chose, menu did diseapear and nothing happened. locked into screen with the earth, nothing else.

ok, news.
several clones without changing anything.
it's ok.
added virtualbox with USB support
it's ok
added a new partition into sda.
sda cloned
it's ok.
i always could use clonezilla, and clones always could start.
so
always error message "such device UUID xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx not found"
but immediatly after UUID is ok and clone runs
so can't tell the reason about this USB support legacy option into BIOS
so, i hope i can say SOLVED.
thx,
areuh
Thanks for sharing that.
OK, if you have any more question, please post it again.
Steven.
