I'm trying to install clonezilla zesty on the seventh partition of a gpt disk, but i always end up to a black screen saying "initramfs unable to find a medium containing a live file system".
This is the script i built for GRUB2, following the tutorial and checking the parameters of syslinux.cfg.
I have a similar problem.
If I run CloneZilla live with a USB stick ... it's OK
But saving time, I wanted to run the Live version from the partition and the program
grub-imageboot
path to the iso file: /boot/images/CloneZilla.iso
Most new Live versions do not work. : 2.5.5-38 /testing - 2.5.5-42/
But the older version works: 20170905-zesty-amd64
is it the fault of my Samsung R780 laptop?
after about 1 - 2 minutes ... only:
"(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system"
hardware info: http://paste.debian.net/1023989/
regards!

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Ok, I managed without a grub-imageboot program.
Editing the 40_custom file and entering the appropriate entry
CloneZilla now works again with the grub menu options.

but did you change my posted entry into your own?.... in: /etc/grub.d/40_custom
I still have the right to execute

Maybe you can give a hand?

Normally this is Linux kernel/hardware support issue. Did you try testing Clonezilla live, like >= 2.5.5-23?

@ski-777 Hi, friend! Please provide your menuentry for 2.5.x version. Thanks!
my config:
Do not forget then:
update-grub
Thanks, ski-777, but this is not worked on my Asus Maximus VI Extreme...
but did you change my posted entry into your own?.... in: /etc/grub.d/40_custom

Remove all devices connected to the computer via USB
during the CloneZilla start .... via HDD : path / home/ user name/ clonezilla/ (name Clonezilla.iso)
For me Clonezilla starts not from USB but from hard disk / partition
Why are you experiencing USB port errors?
