I cannot get Clonezilla to boot on my computer. I have tried both the stable - 3.1.3-16 and alternative stable - 20240715-noble. They boot fine on my older computer, but not the new one so I know the USB holding Clonezilla works. The new PC is running an Intel i5-1250PE which I believe is supported.
When I try to boot:
- (VGA 800x600):
- all I get is either a black screen or stuck on the Clonezilla splash image so no logs
- (VGA 800x600 & To RAM):
- rsync: [sender] read errors mapping "/run/live/medium/boot/grub/efi.img": Input/output error (5)
- file has vanished: "/run/live/medium/boot/grub/grub.cfg"
- file has vanished: "/run/live/medium/boot/grub/ocswp-grub2.png"
- ...
I don't think it should matter since it should be booting from the USB, but I have a feeling it could matter? Anyway, my old computer is running a FreeBSD installation using UFS. It is partitioned as /boot, /, and swap. My new computer is also running FreeBSD, however, it is using ZFS. It is partitioned as empty, /boot, swap, /.
Is the ZFS interfering with Clonezilla booting? Is it the Intel i5-1250PE causing issues?

I initially had the amd64, but just tried the i686 versions and same result. Most of what I find searching is others say the issue is with the USB, but I know works and boots having tested it on another computer. I'm not finding much else searching.

" - rsync: [sender] read errors mapping "/run/live/medium/boot/grub/efi.img": Input/output error (5)" -> This is an "Input/output error". This issue is quite likely related to hardware, i.e., your USB flash drive.
Try to use another USB stick, or even different type/model.

Thank you for the response. I tried a different USB of the same model and it did not work, however, I tried a different model and it did work. I'm confused why the original models work on the other computer as is and not the new one. I find that strange as that's why I didn't think to try another USB since it worked fine in another computer.
Anyway, thank you again for the help.

We encountered similar issues before. Apparently some USB stick has compatibility issue with some machines. This is seldom, but it does exist.
