Hi,
Just trying to image a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2 and it keeps failing. I'm using a Star Tech USB 3.0 powered hub. Its sees the USB pen and flashes into Clonezilla. Says 'Welcome to Grub' then flashes up with the error: Error unknown command 'load video'. I get to see the menu, the menu disappears then the screen goes blank. Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction?

Many Thanks

I would use
-a microSD Card
for
-clonezilla live ...i386...
and make the following changes in
/EFI/boot/grub.cfg :

# load_video #i.e. a text menu should be seen later
set timeout="100" # i.e. 10 sec

Now it should be possible to make a clone
(with the Intel Atom Z2760 processor).

If not then use additionally
"Clonezilla live (Failsafe mode)".

Hi,

I tried this procedure and I don't have the error at startup, but I have a black screen when I run one of the menus

Thanks

Next we can change:
'linux /live/vmlinuz boot=live config noswap [edd=off] .. [vga..]'
or without [edd=on]
without [vga..]
It's not necessary to change the graphics settings (640x480).

In summary we should use:
-clonezilla live ..i386.. or ..i486..
with the following settings in the
/EFI/boot/grub.cfg:

'set gfxmode=640x480' # or 'set gfxmode=auto' (graphic mode)
'#live_video' # no call to live_video

'edd=off' # or without [edd=on]
'[vga..]' # without that in the 'linux /live/vmlinuz..' line

The text mode should be entirely sufficient for us.
(Intel/Imagination Technologies have not released the source
code for the graphic mode of PowerVR SGX545 yet)

Hi Andy, i have the same problem with a other tablet and i find a bug posted (just open for the moment) https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/180/?page=1 . I hope that we find a solution.

Hi Fuchs, I try the grub config on your last post with a ASUS ME400c (with the same processor) but the clonezilla live don't boot, it freeze after the grub list.
Have you any other idea??

Thanks

Could you please run fsck to make sure your FAT32 file system integrity is OK?

Steven.
