I have CloneZilla booting from PXE server and tried 1.2.2-31 and Ubuntu-based versions on different computers so the problem seems hardware-independent. It looks like boot-up ends at messages
Begin: Running /scripts/live-premount…
Done.
IP-Config: eth0 hardware address <my MAC addr> mtu 1500 DHCP RARP
and most times nothing happens. In few cases, booting resumes after minutes of waiting and then all works ok. Plugging some usb hardware in this time causes corresponding messages appear but nothing more happens. I suspect something is wrong with my lan. Computers having win xp or ubuntu karmic boot ok. What can cause a problem?
Thanks in advance.

A. Please make sure your network cable and switch is flawless.
B. Maybe you can try to boot CD or USB version of Clonezilla live on your client and run the commands in the command prompt:
(1) sudo -i
(2) dhclient
By doing (B), we can isolate the problem is on the Clonezilla live initramfs or not.

1) Yes, the same computers being booted by their "regular" OSes have no network troubles at all.
2)
When booted from liveCD all works fine. "sudo dhclient" properly requests address and shows lease duration.

and so on with intervals being increasing.
Seems like we can't see DHCP ACKs…

Weird… Maybe the problem is on the ipconfig in live-initramfs…
BTW, is that possible you can try another DHCP server?

The DHCP/TFTP server what I am currently using is tftpd32 under WinXP; there is also Fortigate router with DHCP capability but it can not point to PXE server so no alternatives indeed as far as I don't know any other approved dhcp servers under win xp :( But if there were successfull attempts to load Clonezilla via PXE I'll be trying to change dhcp server…
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Actually I have no any experience about dhcp and tftp services on MS windows. Therefore I can not share any experience… If anyone on this forum has such experience, please share that.
Thanks.
Steven.

That was really tftpd32 issue, - after setting up a small linux server with dhcp/tftp capabilities all is working fine, thank you :)
