Clonezilla / Discussion / Help: How to get new drivers added to Clonezilla?

Lord Chaos - 2008-10-22

Hello, I've been using Clonezilla for a while now on many machines and its working very well, except I can't back up my main machine because it has a promise hardware RAID (4 Raptors in RAID 0 setup), which clonezilla doesn't recognize.

Any way to add or have added the drivers to clonezilla?

I am linking to the driver page, as I don't even know which of the drivers are compatible (I am pretty much a Linux n00b)

Thanks

  Well, it's not straightforward to add that. You have to be familiar with live-helper.
  Did you try testing or experimental clonezilla live ? Both of them comes with newer kernel (2.6.26 or 2.6.27), which might work for your RAID card.
  For the latest testing or experimental one, check this:

  or

  I tried that, but it doesn't work, says there's no live environment on any drives (doesn't seem like it finds anything except the USB harddrive its supposed to image to). :(
  
  What can I do?

  If you are familiar with Debian system and kernel compiling, you can find the drive source code for your RAID card, compile it on Clonezilla live, install it.

  Negative on both sadly...so that means I am pretty much out of luck? :(

    No, or you can try to find the right driver source for your RAID card, and we here can try to make it here.
