maybe /etc/cobbler/pxe/pxedefault.template ?

Thanks Jared, you save me some time.

I'll go through your steps and report back any issues.

OK, so after a little more work, I've figured out that I don't

actually

need the nfs mount for clonezilla since I'm using http to get the
squashfs file system (omit step 5 below and remove "netboot=nfs

6).

think this will work a little cleaner with cobbler since it uses

http

also.

Is anyone still interested in this?  If so, hope it's helpful.

Yes, we should at least start a page on the Wiki on using Cobbler

with

Clonezilla as that may help with integration efforts
to smooth it over later, or determine that we might not even need to

do

any extra integration work :)

How about throwing up a page at fedorahosted.org/cobbler?

(You first need a FAS account,
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts)
and then you can add/edit Wiki pages.

Thanks!

OK, so I have things working with clonezilla and cobbler.  At

this

point
it's just a rough implementation that may be blown away by a

cobbler

sync, so I need some help cleaning it up.  Here's the steps I've

used:

1. Download clonezilla experimental (ubuntu based), the Debian

based

clonezilla's don't have necessary network drivers for many Dell

servers

(see my rant about non-free vs. non-functional here:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=671650&aid=2804260&gro

u
p_id=115473).  Get it here:
http://clonezilla.org/download/sourceforge/experimental/iso-zip-
files.ph
p
2. mkdir -p /mnt/isoimage ; mount -o loop
~/clonezilla-live-20090610-jaunty.iso /mnt/isoimage
3. mkdir /tftpboot/images/clonezilla ; cp
/mnt/isoimage/live/initrd1.img
/mnt/isoimage/live/vmlinuz1 /tftpboot/images/clonezilla/
4. mkdir /var/www/cobbler/images/clonezilla ; cp -a

/mnt/isoimage/.

/var/www/cobbler/images/clonezilla
5. add "/var/www/cobbler/images/clonezilla

*(ro,sync,no_root_squash)"

to
/etc/exports, service restart nfs (chkconfig to auto restart nfs

if

needed).
6. And now for the real magic, add the following section to
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default (substituting your host IP address

for

10.0.199.2):
LABEL Clonezilla
        kernel /images/clonezilla/vmlinuz1
        MENU LABEL Clonezilla
        append initrd=images/clonezilla/initrd1.img boot=live
union=aufs
hostname=jaunty edd=on nolocales ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general"
ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_keymap="" ocs_live_batch="no"
ocs_lang="" noprompt mode_option=1024x768

fetch=http://10.0.199.2/cobbler/images/clonezilla/live/filesystem.squas

h
fs netboot=nfs

nfsroot=10.0.199.2:/var/www/cobbler/images/clonezilla

        ipappend 2

The tricky part was the "fetch" section that has changed since

that

link
that I sent.

Anyway, if you guys can check that this works for you then clean

it

up

to auto-insert the local IP address (and it would be nice to get

rid

of

the nfs step and just use the http download).  Finally, I'd think

there

would be some good optimizations that could be done inside the
clonezilla scripts to automatically pass down the ssh key to the
machine
and have it automatically reconnect to the server.  I don't have

much

more time for this right now, but those all seem like good
optimizations.  Hope this helps (let me know if I skipped a

step).

So I decided to try to get it working myself.  I'm trying to

load

clonezilla over pxe (for now just manually modifying
/tftboot/pexelinux.cfg/default -- not sure the "cobbler

friendly"

way

of
doing this).
I'm getting a different error (can't load firmward file
bnx2-06-4.6.16.fw, this seems to be because this network driver

is

not

loaded in the initrd image and you can't get it loaded without

the

network driver working - possibly rebuilding the initrd image

will

fix

this), but the net result is the same, a Kernel Panic and unable

to

boot.

http://www.omgili.com/mailinglist/debian-
boot/lists/debian/org/200809091
32942GB12650ch-desktop.html

I'll keep hacking at it and see if I can figure it out.

Yeah, yeah... and life will be wonderful after windows 7...
Sounds like I can I plan on using cobbler to clone systems to

play

"Duke

Nukem Forever".
(Not that I mean to be unappreciative, you're doing good

work).

                

If you are interested in Clonezilla integration coming sooner,

might

suggest you consider working on it :)

We would be more than happy to offer any tips we can in getting

that

started.

I *really* mean that. This is how Cobbler is what it is today.

Unlike DNF, we actually /do/ get releases out.

Michael-

I am trying to get CloneZilla going, I imported the live-CD and
followed the instruction here.

But I get this error when booting up:

Begin: Mounting root file system ... [ 124.436647] ide_generic:

please

use "probe_mask=0x3f" module parameter for probing all legacy

ISA

IDE

ports
[ 125.421902] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill

init!

I have a thread going to Clonezilla mailing list,

http://www.mail-

archive.com/clonezilla-live@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00279.html

Not really sure where to go from here.

Thanks

Judge

I having the same issue on a HP380, I have a thread going on

CloneZilla

mailing list.
