Clonezilla / Discussion / Help: No clonezilla param in /proc/cmdline

Hello all

I Setup up a DRBL/Clone Zilla server and I have a little problem when I want to save the disk of the client.

On the server I start : /opt/drbl/sbin/dcs -> clonezilla-start _> save-disk

on the client I boot with pxe, I have the Clonezilla menu, It start well but on I have error message :

No Clone zilla param in /proc/cmdline

I try :

1. /opt/drbl/sbin/dcs -> clonezilla-stop
2. /opt/drbl/sbin/generate-pxe-menu
3. /opt/drbl/sbin/dcs -> clonezilla-start

but I have always the same error.

Do anybody have a idea please ?

thank you
kevin

here is my config file : /tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default

Hello,

It works

I have uninstalled the drbl serveur via

/opt/drbl/sbin/drblsrv -u

Reinstalled drbl with

/opt/drbl/sbin/drblsrv -i

and setup again :

/opt/drbl/sbin/drblpush -i

Try to run "/opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-ocs stop" then start the clonezilla SE service again (by running /opt/drbl/sbin/dcs, then choose clonezilla-start…)

When you run /opt/drbl/sbin/dcs, then choose clonezilla-start to start the service, did you see any error messages?
Or maybe you'd better to reconfigure the DRBL system:
http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/#uninstall
and
http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/

You do not need to remove and reinstall clonezilla or drbl.. clonezilla command in the /proc/cmdline come from the the append line (ocs_opt paramter ) in pxelinux.cfg file..   you may use the following pxe boot files for taking image and restore it:

for taking image:
