Hello Clonezilla Team,

I want automatically creating an ISO file over our company PXE. I use the latest version of clonezilla live and older version is not possible, because we needs the latest version for supporting NVMe M.2.

The Issue is, that the bootx64.efi doesn't found in tamplate clonzilla live (see picture on attachment)
The EFI folder is to find under tftproot.

Here is also the configuration of our pxeconfig file.

LABEL ISO
MENU LABEL ^3. ISO
KERNEL images/clonezilla_20190108/live/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=images/clonezilla_20190108/live/initrd.img boot=live union=aufs config nolocales edd=on nomodeset components
noswap noprompt keyboard-layouts=de locales=de_DE.UTF-8 ocs_prerun="mount -t cifs -o user=image-admin,password=pte //xxx.xxx.xx.xx/image/Linux/SP-550/HDD/POSReady7/32bit

I think, the configuration is correct, but I'm not sure.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
Have you tried it?

Hello,

we use the 20190108-cosmic version Ubuntu based. The 2.6.0-37 Debian based have we doesn't tested yet. I'll try the 2.6.0-37 now and gave feedback, if it resolve the issue or not.

Thanks!

It's the same issue with the Debian based version? Have you any ideas what it is wrong?

For Clonezilla live 2.6.0-37, you can find in the syslinux/isolinux.cfg, the "To RAM" option uses "toram=live,syslinux,EFI". Maybe you do the same thing in your boot parameters?

Thanks for the solution approach. But, if I entered this("toram=live,syslinux,EFI") in the boot parameters, the loading of clonezilla stops with "end trace".

I've study the script of clonezilla and I'm not sure, what is $DEBIAN_ISO_TMP.
I guess, it is a variable for the root directory and he EFI folder is available in root.

Is it correct what I thinking?

Check if EFI boot could be supported.

We only check bootx64.efi or bootaa64.efi since bootx86.efi is optional.

if [ -e "$DEBIAN_ISO_TMP/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi" ]; then
cpu_arch_type="x86"
elif [ -e "$DEBIAN_ISO_TMP/EFI/boot/bootaa64.efi" ]; then
cpu_arch_type="arm64"
else
[ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && $SETCOLOR_FAILURE
echo "/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi or /EFI/boot/bootaa64.efi was not found in template Clonezilla live!"
[ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && $SETCOLOR_NORMAL
echo "$msg_program_stop"
exit 1
fi

Over an USB Stick with Clonezilla is it possible to create an ISO file and will found the bootx64.efi as well.

For further ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

Daniel

It's weird that adding "toram=live,syslinux,EFI" causes kernel panic. Have you tried newer Clonezilla live? Like 2.6.1-15 or 20190224-disco:
https://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
?

Hi Steven,

I have had my own problems on this recently.

Same error shown as per Daniel initial problem description "boot.efi not found in template.

But my clonezilla mode is "toram" on thumbdrive for local convert from normal image to ISO.

It seems that the program looks for all system files that comes preloaded in clonezilla thumbdrive.

So my solution is adding this to the boot parameter "toram=live,syslinux,EFI,boot,.disk,utils".

It is important to note that .disk is a hidden file. I failed many times bcos i left out this folder.

My clonezilla version is: (stable) 2.6.4-10-amd64

Thanks. Actually in the Clonezilla live 2.6.4-10-amd64, if you check the boot parameters file, e.g., syslinux/syslinux.cfg, and boot/grub/grub.cfg, you should be able to find for toram, we have make it like:
toram=live,syslinux,EFI,boot,.disk,utils
So definitely it's the same as yours.
