Just recently I found this great project and tried it on some machines... Now I tried to take an image of an old compaq E500 Laptop, which just failed? So as I got a couple of these ones, I tried the second one, same issue. Thus I guess it's not a hardware problem, but a configuration issue with Clonezilla?
Here's what happens:
Boot screen, I selected different options, including the "safe mode"
It starts to boot, but I do see several errors, can't tell the exact wordings, but things I saw include the following:
- sense key=0x03
- reserved error code
- media error bad sector (win2k chkdsk didn't report anything)
- ide failed (win2k runs fine...)
- io eror
- iscsiadm: No records found (guess that's normal)
- Not starting udftools packet writing: No devices listed in /etc/default/udftools
- No account with NOPASSWD sudo privilege was found!
- Program terminated!
- Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 debian tty1
- debian login:
As I saw the live CD working on some other machines, I know that it should get to the next configuration screens instead of providing a login to a terminal session... The only thing I could imagine is that the drivers are not able to find the internal HDD. I don't understand that, as these machines are really old and the kernal is way younger....
In case it's relevant, the machines got 128Mb of RAM
Thanks for any help on this

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Maybe it's a good idea to burn another CD or try another CDROM to make sure it's not the issue about CD or CDROM.
Another possibility is to try experimental Clonezilla live, which uses different kernel and might support hardware better.

Having got no answer so far, I just tried my LiveCD on a PC I knew it does work...
Same problem as with the old compaqs!!!???
The CD is not scratched or what ever, but somehow the image is no longer working :-(
My guess is that CloneZilla itself did use the CD Writer somehow to kill it's own LifeCD.
Any thoughts about that theory?
Thanks
