[Clonezilla-live] Video issues on HP 6735b

[Hilton S. <hil...@gm...>]

Hello, I've not been able to get Clonezilla Live to boot properly on my HP
6735b Laptop. I downloaded 1.2.2-26 as a .iso, used the usb-creator tool
that comes with Ubuntu to put it on an SD card, but when I try to boot of it
I get weird images. The download is good, I compared md5sums and also ran it
in a VM successfully.

When I boot the laptop off the SD card, I get a screen with some red boxes
that I can manipulate to some degree with various keypresses, but that is
it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Hilton

[Steven S. <st...@nc...>]

Yes.
The problem is now stable or testing Clonezilla live uses "free" 
software. That firmware is classified as "non-free" in Debian. Therefore 
it does not included.
You can try Ubuntu-based Clonezilla live (20090812-jaunty), it comes 
with some of non-free firmware.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Clonezilla and HPDL360GS NIC issue

I guess the firmware is included in Clonezilla live 20090812-jaunty. 
Please give it a try.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Clonezilla and HPDL360GS NIC issue

[Steve P. <Ste...@de...>]

I don't think so. The Ubuntu Server is just a boot-up before the disk configuration. I'll need to look at this, but
first impress is not. I would not expect that from the Server edition, but I could be wrong.

Is Ubuntu perhaps using the Broadcom NetExtreme II via the ndiswrapper to get
the bnx2 module to work?

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Clonezilla and HP RAID

[Steve P. <Ste...@de...>]

Hi Steven,

I thought about that, but the Ubuntu Server is using an earlier driver (1.8) while 1.22-26 is
using 2.01 I believe. The Clonezilla kernel seems to want to load firmware while the Ubuntu server does not.

I have screenshots of dmesg if you want to see them.

side note: The disks are being recognized as /dev/sdb, so we're all good there.

It's because there is a command /opt/drbl/sbin/create-cciss-mapping will
be run in Clonezilla to create a mapping device name.
For Broadcom BCM5708 NIC, maybe a newer module is required.
Did you try clonezilla live 20090812-jaunty ? Maybe it supports your NIC.

[Clonezilla-live] Clonezilla and HPDL360GS NIC issue

[Steve P. <Ste...@de...>]

The HP DL360GS server uses the Broadcom NetExtreme II drive(bnx2 module). Clonezilla 1.22-26 does not allow the module to load
saying it is having a problem with the firmware ( cannot load firmware file) with an error like probe of <PCI device address> failed with error -2.
However, If I boot an Ubuntu Server 9.0.4, the bnx2 module loads without issue.  It does not try to load the firmware.

Any thoughts?

Steve

It's mean the -t1 will only work for the restored OS is MS Windows. 
Since the restored MBR from syslinux is used to restore a clean MBR.

[Clonezilla-live] View & extract files/folders from Clonezilla image

Hi,

How can I view & then extract individual files & folders from the
image created with Clonezilla ? (if it is possible to do so).

A screenshot of the files in the image directory can be seen here:

Haven't tried it, but I'd expect a USB->ethernet adapter to be 
recognized.  Or a USB->disk adapter for image access so you can skip the

The good news is Clonezilla 1.22-26 recognizes the cciss module and the disks are recognize as /dev/sdb. However,
the Broadcom BCM5708 Ethernet adapter is not recognized.  I tried manually loading all Broadcom modules but no change.

Would Clonezilla be able to recognize an HP RAID, using the cciss module, which points to a /dev/cciss/c0d0p1?

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Clonezilla and HP RAID

[Steve P. <Ste...@de...>]

Steven,

HP got back to me regarding their HW RAID under Linux. I asked if their module can assign the device to /dev/sda:


The only way to accomplish that would be to create a symlink from /dev/cciss/c0d0 to /dev/sda.
You may be able to create the symlink during install prior to the disk partitioning.

Would Clonezilla be able to recognize an HP RAID, using the cciss module, which points to a /dev/cciss/c0d0p1?

Thanks.

Steve

[Clonezilla-live] WindowsXP backup for future restoration onto a different disc

[Simon L. <si...@si...>]

Hi all,

	Just a quick request for clarification on the FAQ/Q&A page:

under item 74: When I use clonezilla to clone MS windows, there is no
any problem when saving an image from template machine. However, after
the image is restored to another machine, it fails to boot, the error
message is "Missing Operating System" or just a blinking underscore.
What's going on ?

There is a possible solution of:

[ ] -t1 Client restores the prebuilt MBR from syslinux (For Windows
only) when you restore the image.

What does the  (For Windows only) bit refer to?  I thought that
Clonezilla could only be run from Debian/Ubuntu. Does this imply a
Windows based version of the s/w?  If not, then what does this refer to,
or is it so blatently obvious that I have missed the point? ;)

Cheers, S.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Clonezilla deleted all files on the target partition - Data found.

[Steven S. <st...@nc...>]

If you create an image by choosing disk -> image, Clonezilla should not 
delete any files on the mounted dir, i.e. any files on /home/partimag 
will not be deleted.
For what you mentioned, I think maybe it's because you abort the 
process, and unplug the USB flash drive without unmounting it or 
shutting down the system normally. Could you please make sure you did 
that or?
Sorry to hear that. We will try to find a better way to avoid this. 
Maybe give some warning messages.

Regards,
Steven.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] GUI menu for resize

[Steven S. <st...@nc...>]

Did you try GParted live (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/) ? I believe 
it's more suitable than Clonezilla to do this.

Re: [Clonezilla-live] Clonezilla with Dell T3400, XP, and Software RAID

[Steven S. <st...@nc...>]

Hi Steve,
Since Ubuntu 9.0.4 can find the device, I believe Clonezilla live 
20090727-jaunty can find that, too.
However, the problem is now clonezilla does not support device names 
like /dev/mapper/... We might have to write another program to map the 
/dev/mapper/ device name to /dev/[hs]d[a-z]* in the future. However, 
without any card here I can test, it's difficult...

Steven.

[Clonezilla-live] GUI menu for resize

[Steve P. <Ste...@de...>]

I am teaching my team how to use Clonezilla. The most-confusing process they've experienced is taking a out-of-the-box system
and sizing the drive smaller so there are two equal partitions. They would like to see a GUI menu to split a drive or partition into two equal parts.

This would support the need their request to make the tool easier to use.

Thanks.

Steve

If file systems have "labels" it would be helpful to display them as well to
avoid choosing the wrong partition. And then once chosen, it could perhaps do
an 'ls -l' of it's root directory and ask you to confirm and if you say 'no'
you get returned to this step.
