    Hi guys, I'm a clonezilla noob. Our Systems Engineer that manages clonezilla went on vacation. Usually, different types of servers are able to PXE boot to our central Clonezilla Server so we can image them. But we just got a brand new type of machine in and it won't PXE boot. It will show the DRBL screen with client options; so I click on Clonezilla restore an image. It starts to load but then halts and says:

    XXXXXXXXXXXX
    The driver of network card is NOT found!
    Is this kernel 2.6.18-238.el5 too old so it does not support this network card ?
    Without network card driver, we can NOT go on!
    XXXXXXXXXXXX
    Now enter shell to debug…

    BusyBox v1.18.4 ….etc etc..

    So I'm guessing I need drivers? How do I make our central Clonezilla Server recognize the new machines with the new network cards? I believe the card is Atheros. AR81 Family. I've been at this for days and it's really hurting my brain. Any help would be appreciate. Thank you all.

    It would be easier to use this mode:
    http://clonezilla.org/use_clonezilla_live_in_drbl.php
    and use alternative Clonezilla live (e.g. 20110623-natty) as client's OS when running Clonezilla job. Otherwise you have to compile the driver on DRBL server for our DRBL clients.

    Steven.
