needed :
tiny pxe server
Clonezilla

open clonezilla.iso in winrar (or any other iso reading capable tool).
extract live folder to x:\pxe\iso\clonezilla

use the below ipxe script :

#!ipxe
set boot-url http://${dhcp-server}
kernel ${boot-url}/ISO/clonezilla/live/vmlinuz boot=live config noswap nolocales edd=on nomodeset vga=788 nosplash noprompt fetch=http://${dhcp-server}/ISO/clonezilla/live/filesystem.squashfs
initrd ${boot-url}/ISO/clonezilla/live/initrd.img
boot

name it clonezilla.ipxe and put it in x:\pxe

put ipxe-undionly.kpxe in x:\pxe

launch tiny pxe server with the following settings (leave other settings untouched) :
tick « httpd »
boot filename = ipxe-undionly.kpxe (use the browse files and folders « … » button)
tick « filename if user-class=gPXE or iPXE » = http://${dhcp-server}/clonezilla.ipxe
push the online button

pxe boot your computer and here we go

clonezilla

    I can’t find a solution for this problem. I have changed many options.

    • Hi,

      -Ensure you are using latest version (1.0.0.18 from sept 08).
      -Ensure log=0 in config.ini (file access can be an issue thru multi threading).
      -Try with proxydhcp enabled (to be sure there is no conflict with a dhcp server on your lan/system).

      If still not working, I’ll ask you to make a packet dump.

      Regards,
      Erwan

  2. Yessssss it works
    I downloaded your latest version again and installed it clean.
    Now I get an ip without errors and clonezilla is starting

  3. Is het possible to make a menu for the different boot recovery distros over the network?

    • yep it is.
      here below an example :


      #!ipxe

      set boot-url http://${next-server}
      set iscsi-server ${next-server}
      set iqn iqn.2008-08.com.starwindsoftware:test
      set nfs-server ${next-server}
      set cifs-server //${next-server}

      # Setup some basic convenience variables
      set menu-timeout 5000
      set submenu-timeout ${menu-timeout}

      # Ensure we have menu-default set to something
      isset ${menu-default} || set menu-default exit

      • thnx

        I must change clonezilla.ipxe with menu.ipxe. And then change some settings in de new.ipxe?

        • yes.

          copy paste your working clonezilla.pxe text (without the #!ipxe header) in the :clonezilla section of menu.pxe .

          • http://192.168.0.100/menu.ipxe.. ok
            nothing happens then no menu on screen
            What I am doing wrong…..

          • make sure your (text) menu file starts with #ipxe.
            post a link here so that I can eventually debug it for you.
