clonezilla/gparted working from rEFInd

[ndog37]

Has anyone attempted this?

I have copied clonezilla live files into my EFI partition for testing under /clonezilla/live
vmlinuz
initrd.img
filesystem.squashfs

(tested multiple distros)

local.conf
menuentry "Clonezilla" {
icon /EFI/BOOT/next-theme/icons/os_mandriva.png
loader /clonezilla/live/vmlinuz
initrd /clonezilla/live/initrd.img
options "boot=live union=overlay username=user live-config components noswap noprompt edd=on nomodeset noeject vga=788 ip= net.ifnames=0 nosplash i915.blacklist=yes radeonhd.blacklist=yes nouveau.blacklist=yes ocs-debug vmwgfx.enable_fbdev=1 ocs_live_run=ocs-live-general keyboard-layouts=NONE ocs_live_batch=no live-media-path=/clonezilla/live bootfrom=/dev/sda1 toram=filesystem.squashfs"
ostype Linux
graphics off
}

menuentry "Clonezilla Actual" {
icon /EFI/BOOT/next-theme/icons/os_mandriva.png
loader /clonezilla/live/vmlinuz
initrd /clonezilla/live/initrd.img
options "boot=live config union=overlay username=user hostname=yakkety quiet components noswap edd=on nomodeset noeject vga=788 ip= nosplash locales=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=NONE ocs_live_batch=yes ocs_live_run=""ocs-live-general"" live-media-path=/clonezilla/live bootfrom=/dev/sda1 toram=filesystem.squashfs"
graphics off
}

menuentry "Clonezilla test" {
icon /EFI/BOOT/next-theme/icons/os_mandriva.png
loader /clonezilla/live/vmlinuz
options "initrd=/clonezilla/live/initrd.img boot=live union=overlay username=user live-config components locales=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=NONE live-media-path=/clonezilla/live bootfrom=/dev/sda1 toram=filesystem.squashfs"
}

menuentry "Clonezilla debug" {
icon /EFI/BOOT/next-theme/icons/os_mandriva.png
loader /clonezilla/live/vmlinuz
options "initrd=/clonezilla/live/initrd.img ocs-debug boot=live live-config components union=overlay username=user locales=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=NONE live-media-path=/clonezilla/live bootfrom=/dev/sda1 toram=filesystem.squashfs"
ostype Linux
}

All these boot entries load into the linux environment but get stuck in clonezilla about login user. under grub clonezilla runs fine, but for whatever reason with rEFInd it has this error. Still not sure where to start looking. Have posted in the cz forums hoping for a follow up too https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/494a6794/

Hello,

how is my tree directory files sarting from root:

/Clonezilla/live/filesystem.squashfs
/Clonezilla/live/initrd.img
/Clonezilla/live/vmlinuz
/Clonezilla/live/yannzilla.sh
/EFI/Boot/refind.conf

below is my working entry in refind.conf:
..........................................................
showtools
timeout 30
textonly

menuentry "Clonezilla Linux Based" {
loader /Clonezilla/live/vmlinuz
initrd /Clonezilla/live/initrd.img
options "boot=live noprompt live-config ocs_live_run=/lib/live/mount/medium/Clonezilla/live/yannzilla.sh ocs_live_batch=yes live-media-path=/Clonezilla/live keyboard-layouts=fr vga=normal nolocales nosplash"
}
............................................................
I may confirm that the yannzilla.sh script is perfectly loading
this script is fully automatized to backup my four installed operating systems
of course i just can run the /usr/sbin/ocs-live-general if needed

Main difference from your config is that:
filesystem.squashfs is extracted and copied to
/Clonezilla/live/filesystem.squashfs

used clonezilla release is:
clonezilla-live-20160529-xenial-amd64.iso

If it can help?
