Re: [Clonezilla-live] PXE boot clonezilla-live (no longer working since 2020-04-28 ISO)

[<vi...@co...>]

I finally got it working by using a different version:
20220329 (alterntive testing) and removing the 'ip=' parameter altogether.

For the record, here's what currently works for me:

BIOS:
LABEL clonezilla 2022/03/29
   MENU LABEL clonezilla_2022/03/29
   KERNEL /netboot/clonezilla-20220329/vmlinuz
   APPEND initrd=/netboot/clonezilla-20220329/initrd.img boot=live 
username=user union=overlay config components quiet noswap edd=on 
nomodeset nodmraid locales= keyboard-layouts= 
ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_batch=no 
net.ifnames=0 nosplash noprompt live_console_font_size=16x32 
fetch=http://imladris.lasthome.solace.krynn/clonezilla-20220329/filesystem.squashfs

UEFI:
menuentry 'clonezilla 2022/03/29' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class 
gnu --class os {
         linuxefi /netboot/clonezilla-20220329/vmlinuz boot=live 
username=user union=overlay config components quiet noswap edd=on 
nomodeset nodmraid locales= keyboard-layouts= 
ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_batch=no 
net.ifnames=0 nosplash noprompt live_console_font_size=16x32 
fetch=http://imladris.lasthome.solace.krynn/clonezilla-20220329/filesystem.squashfs
         initrdefi /netboot/clonezilla-20220329/initrd.img
}

Best regards,

Vincent
