    Hi all,

      I have followed the command in the manual to create a rescue disk with a backup image.

    /opt/drbl/sbin/ocs-iso -g en_US.UTF-8 -t -k NONE -e “-g auto -b -c restoredisk <image name> sda” <image name>

      When I booted the rescue disk, it booted into a shell and I have to type 'exit' to proceed further. Is there anyway to avoid booting into a shell and straight to user confirmation for disk restoration?

    Many thanks
    Joe the beginner

    Normally it should run the command without having to enter the username and password.
    Which version of Clonezilla live did you use?
    What's the content of /isolinux/isolinux.cfg in the iso file you have created?

    Steven.

    Sorry for my double-post, but i just found out that i have exactly the same problem. I just tried to type anything after reading THIS topic… And if i type exit it works too for me.

    Me again…

    I just tried a 3rd time with the alternate karmic live cd… and it works!

      Sorry, do you mean you find a way avoiding to boot into a shell?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    yes, i found a way. But both (maverick AND lucid won't work…), so i used karmic. ONLY the karmic version of march 2010 did NOT booted into shell.

    With the karmic my automatic livecd is working as it shall, it starts, recovers the hdd, then makes the shutdown.

    I used the image "clonezilla-live-20100330-karmic.iso", 126.9 MB, 2010-03-30
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/files/clonezilla_live_alternative/OldFiles/clonezilla-live-20100330-karmic.iso/download

    I don't know why lucid + maverick don't work automatic any more. Karmic did what it should directly after 1st try.
