You did not use these boot parameters ? No 
"fetch=tftp://10.69.14.23/filesystem.squashfs" ? no "boot=live" ?
For PXE booting Clonezilla live, you have to provide the root filesystem 
by fetch boot parameter. Otherwise definitely you will get "kernel panic".

Please follow http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/livepxe.php to setup 
your PXE server.
