I have set up a drbl server and successfully imaged several Optiplex 240's as well as some laptops. I have a lab full of Dell Optiplex 745's that do not work with Clonezilla. I have set the machines to boot in PXE. They do that and successfully receive an ip and boot to the first Clonezilla menu. When the Linux environment starts to take over I get an error that there is a network card failure. It has an issue with the dell's broadcom 57xx network card. I am very much a novice with Clonezilla and a bit of one with Linux as well. Is there a way to load the driver into the Clonezilla environment that the workstation receives from the server?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Could you tell us what's the error messages in the screen ? Which GNU/Linux are you using ? What's the version of drbl and clonezilla ?
You can provide more info so that it's easier to debug by this: http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/#bug-report

If it's the network driver problem, you can compile the network module, check this faq:

Broadcom 57xx should be a normal network card, if your GNU/Linux uses newer kernel, it should be OK.
