Hi,

I'm trying to use Clonezilla live in a machine that will boot using
PXE through its interface eth1. This machine can redirect the console
using Serial over Lan with its own hardware and is configured to do
so.

I added live-getty and console=ttyS0,115200n8 to the kernel command
line but I'm having a strange problem.

When I'm looking at the serial console, after booting clonezilla,
there is output at the console as expected, but some output also goes
to the VGA. And it's not the same output. Is like there are two
different clonezilla instances in tty1 and ttyS0. They even start
cloning the same partitions at diferent times messing all up. At the
end one can go to the command line on both consoles and evidently they
are two different processes.

I hope I had explained the problem clearly. Is there a way to avoid
this? To make clonezilla run just in one console?

May be this is caused because of the uncommon scenario in which I'm
running clonezilla, because I couldn't find much information about
this problem on the net.

I used clonezilla-live-1.2.2-31 for this test.

So I tried with clonezilla-live-1.2.3-15 and the ubuntu based, but
there I had another problem. The live-netdev="eth1" is apparently
ignored. While running the initrd the ipconfig command tries to
configure eth0 using dhcp and does never time out.

I hacked the live script inside the image a bit, to replace the DEVICE
variable with the value of live-netdev and with some other
modifications I could make it start, but the problem of the duplicated
clonezilla instances persist.

My main problem is this of the console redirection, but I would also
like to report the problem I found booting from eth1 if it isn't
known.

Thanks,

Santiago.
