Clonezilla failing on new systems with 7th generation Intel processors


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, Clonezilla is failing to create an image of any laptop or desktop that has a new 7th generation Intel processor. Any ideas? It works on anything else I throw at it. It appears to be an issue with how the partitions are setup on these new systems. Thanks.

Not sure what the processor has to do with the partitions....

 

Only thing I see is this and it's related to graphics card, so appears different that your issue.

Have you tried fresh format and reinstall using one format.  GPT or MBR.

The part where I get the error is the very last step before it grabs the image. The user in the graphics thread wasn't even able to boot to clonezilla. The partition error just happens to only appear on systems with the newer processors. I have tried an newly formatted hard drive and the error is the same. Somehow Clonezilla reads MBR and GPT and it gets messed up. Very odd issue. Thanks for the reply.

We disable UEFI and use Legacy boot for all our imaging right now.  I want to start using UEFI, but haven't had time to work on it.  If you disable Secure Boot and UEFI, what happens?

Same thing, you have to disable UEFI just to get into Clonezilla.

Hello,

You might want to try using the amd64 version, as those 7th generation Intel processors and chipsets may be doing something that the compiler used to make those i386/686 builds does not like, at a guess.

    • the biggest obstacle is going to be safety, barring musk's reputation of course. waymo looks like it has a good track record and its vehicles are equipped with lidar, radar and cameras. society has often prioritized safety, but especially so with vehicles. tesla seems to be taking a really big risk here. a couple of bad accidents could do a lot of damage to the public perception of the service so maybe they have something up their sleeve? i read a news report saying that they would be having employees monitor the service and control the car in case something happens. feasible for a test, but full rollout which is expected to happen? this service is barely passing the smell test for me, but it's hard for me to imagine a company like tesla would bring this out if they didn't think it was ready because a failed rollout is a serious reputation killer (even more so then HH bs because even the nut jobs won't ride it!).
    • Exactly.  How does it hamper anything? So the user blocks them and the mod bans them. Not like blocking them blocks the ban lol.

    • Thank you for mentioning Windows Vista, Taras Buria! I would be willing to subscribe just because of this kind of coverage of this operating system.
    • I prefer the Windows Vista Startup sound. It was designed in accordance with Windows AERO principles; the sound itself, among other niceties "has two parallel melodies played in an intentional 'Win-dows Vis-ta' rhythm". Before Windows Vista was released to manufacturing there were discussions about this Startup sound being mandatory like the startup sound of the Xbox 360. (This did not happen.) (I recall and appreciate that it is Windows Vista that first allowed users to disable only Windows sounds from the Volume Mixer.)
