I'm attempting to re-image a HD in a card inside an ATCA-like chassis. The HD has RHEL 6.3 and it doesn't have a VGA driver. I'm using Clonezila Live and booting from a flashdrive. I get to the Clonezilla screen and I select: "Other modes of Clonezilla live". A new screen appears and this is where the issue happens because I have not be able to find the correct selection/input to continue. When I select either "To RAM" or "Failsafe mode" I get :
Undefined video mode number: 314
Press <ENTER> to see video modes available...
Mode: Resolution: Type:
0 F00 80x25 CGA/MDA/HGC
Enter a video mode or "scan" to scan for additional modes: <==== ???
Here I have entered: "0", "0F00", "80x25", "CGA" and none work because the window Freezes. Only want to continue is to trigger a reboot and start all over again.
1) Can you please indicate what is a valid input for the part where the "???" is listed?
2) I'm using the 64-bit (clonezilla-live-20170905-zesty-amd64.iso) would it make a difference to try the 32-bit equivalent?
3) Am I taking the long way or is there another way to enable Clonezilla to work on a text-only environment without a VGA driver available?
Thanks!

Another update...
I edited the "syslinux.conf" file and removed "quiet" and added "nosplash" to the "To RAM, Boot media" option. Now it's showing the following:

So it did not work for you to use "scan" to scan for additional modes?
If so, and you can not find any VGA display there, maybe you can try serial console?
