Thanks - the update fixed my immediate problem of the client not having the image storage partition mounted, but now I have a couple more questions. I thought earlier clonezilla versions let the client drop to a shell and then return to the menu (so I could have fixed the broken nfs mount manually). Is that option gone, and if so is there a client command line that would put you back to the menu if you need to get back after some manual operations? Also, the updated version seems to ignore the 'enter' key to activate the boot choice, although the arrows work to highlight it. Am I missing a setting for the keyboard type or something? -- Les Mikesell les...@gm... |

The 'enter' key issue seems to be related to picking the 'newest available' kernel instead of the stock installed one. -- Les Mikesell les...@gm... |

Is that option gone, If you mean Clonezilla live, no. You still can enter command line prompt anytime. Or you can change to another virtual console by Ctrl-Alt-F2, Ctrl-Alt-F3... Ctrl-Alt-F6. and if so is there a client command > line that would put you back to the menu if you need to get back after > some manual operations? If you stay in the virtual console 1 (Ctrl-Alt-F1), you can run "exit" to logout and it will automatically give you Clonezilla menu. If it's on virtual console 2 to 6, you can run: 1. sudo -i 2. clonezilla to start the clonezilla menu. > > Also, the updated version seems to ignore the 'enter' key to activate > the boot choice, although the arrows work to highlight it.

I mean the clonezilla that gets PXE-booted from the drbl server if you just use the default setup (no iso image). The client doesn't seem to have VT's enabled. > and if so is there a client command >> line that would put you back to the menu if you need to get back after >> some manual operations? > If you stay in the virtual console 1 (Ctrl-Alt-F1), you can run "exit" > to logout and it will automatically give you Clonezilla menu.

This doesn't work either - you can 'cancel' from the clonezilla menu and drop to a single-user mode root password prompt, but 'exit' doesn't go back and clonezilla doesn't work as a command. I don't really need this at the moment, but it would have helped when the client wasn't automatically doing the nfs mount for the image location - and I could see it being useful to be able to manually switch to a different mount for alternative images. Would I get this if I used a clonezilla-live image in the DRBL setup? >> Also, the updated version seems to ignore the 'enter' key to activate >> the boot choice, although the arrows work to highlight it.

This turned out to be related to choosing the 'newest available' kernel from the repository instead of the one running on the host. I'm not sure what the actual cause was, but repeating the setup with the stock kernel fixed it. The network speed seems slow on HP DL series servers and I thought a newer kernel might have better support for their NICs. -- Les Mikesell les...@gm... |

Sorry for the late... too many things... Really? Which version of GNU/Linux did you use? Could you please follow http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/#bug-report to provide more info so that we can try to reproduce the issue? > >> and if so is there a client command >>> line that would put you back to the menu if you need to get back after >>> some manual operations? >> If you stay in the virtual console 1 (Ctrl-Alt-F1), you can run "exit" >> to logout and it will automatically give you Clonezilla menu.

"clonezilla" is a command, it's in this path: /opt/drbl/sbin/clonezilla so you can run it by "sudo /opt/drbl/sbin/clonezilla". > > Would I get this if I used a clonezilla-live image in the DRBL setup? Yes, if you use Clonezilla live in DRBL setup, you can use boot parameters (/tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default) to control that. It's more flexible. > > >>> Also, the updated version seems to ignore the 'enter' key to activate >>> the boot choice, although the arrows work to highlight it.

If you have more than one kernel installed on the DRBL server, you can use the command "/opt/drbl/sbin/mknic-nbi" to switch the client's kernel. Run "/opt/drbl/sbin/mknic-nbi --help" and you will see more info.
