[Clonezilla-live] eth0 eth1 no response loop

[Jeff S. <jef...@gm...>]

I'm using clonezilla-live-2.5.0-25-amd64

I pxe boot clonzilla.
I have one machine that is hooked up to 2 networks.
One network is the network I pxe boot clonzilla from the other is a static
assigned network.
When I boot this particular machine it reaches pxelinux and allows me to
choose my clonzilla option.
It loads the kernel and initrd from tftp.
When it starts to boot from the initrd image it tries to get an ip from
eth1 which is on the static network.
So I see a long loop of "no response."
If I unplug the rj45 from the other card it boots fine.
I'd like to pass an option to it to have it use the other card first.
live-netdevice="eth0" doen't seem to make a difference.

They use that machine often enough I setup another machine in my office to
experiment with.
I had a 4 port network card lying around and the motherboard has a pxe
enabled port.
So I plugged the 4 port card in and pluged one interface on the 4 port card
into another on the 4 port card to simulated the static assigned network.
The 4 port card shows up as eth0-3. The onboard nic shows as eth4 but if I
pass live-netdevice="eth4" it still tries eth0 and I see the loop of no
response. It looks like it tries eth1 as well but it stops after a number
of eth1 tries and gives me a prompt of (initramfs).
If I unplug the cord from eth0 and eth1 it boots up just fine.

I added the live-netdevice= to the pxelinux.cfg/default file's append lines

What is going on. why is it ignoring live-netdevice option?
