Boot Problem with restoring image to HP Z Series (Z230) & Clonezillia IPXE Boot
-
It’s probably a step in the right direction.
Keep searching though, but you’d probably have the best luck searching in the forums here for ISO tons of people have got it going on various versions of FOG.
I’ll only be addressing the next release (the one you’re using), FOG 1.3.0

Currently this is the closest to booting i have… error message below

You work fast…
I rebuilt all my servers this weekend… I’m still running updates lol.

I have also found this, bot have no idea on how to get this to boot from fog ipxe… Hopefully someone might have an idea of the config.

I’m still working on this at the house, making good progress though… but disaster struck last night and the AC adapter for my small business router died…

Ok Great…
Just tried this with no luck… didn’t get as far as the the last config.

Last night before everything went wrong, I noticed the init and kernel are in a folder on the Clonezilla iso called “boot”…
Have you tried leaving those files where they are? and do you have the iso Mounted to the directory that is specified in that path below?

Ok… If you get it working, let us know.
I’ll be working on it too.

Not sure if this has been resolved or not, but this site was a great help to me in setting up my Clonezilla PXE boot; http://clonezilla.org/livepxe.php .
you’ll need initrd.img, vmlinuz, and filesystem.squashfs from the .iso or .zip of clonezilla.
Here’s what I ended up with…
:Clonezilla initrd http://<fogIP>/fog/clonezilla/initrd.img chain http://<fogIP>/fog/clonezilla/vmlinuz boot=live config noswap nolocales edd=on nomodeset ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" keyboard-layouts="" ocs_live_batch="no" locales="" vga=788 nosplash noprompt fetch=http://<fogIP>/fog/clonezilla/filesystem.squashfs || goto MENUand that has me booting to Clonezilla just as if I picked the default menu booting from usb.

@Deastrom That’s amazing, thank you!
