Hi, I am trying to use Clonzilla Live 20110922 Natty to image an Xserve 3,1 running OS X 10.6.8, however, I am unable to select the CD as a boot device. Intel based iMacs boot fine from the CD, and the Xserve can boot from an Apple OS X install disk. I have also tried creating a bootable USB drive with a GPT partition table.
I saw in the release notes for Clonezilla live 1.2.8-42 that "The grub2 boot loader for EFI was added. This is a testing function for booting a Mac machine from an USB device with GPT partition." I can see the EFI boot files and grub.cfg in the /EFI/boot/ directory of Clonezilla. I saw elsewhere that "The Xserves have EFI, and have no BIOS compatibility mode. If the Linux distro is expecting BIOS, it will get nowhere. Xserves have no "shim" layer like desktop Macs, so there is no "Boot Camp" type environment. Ensure you have a Linux distro that explicitly supports EFI and you may get somewhere." https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2119758?start=0&tstart=0 . It appears that Ubuntu worked with the previous generation Xserves in 2009: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xserve2-1 Should this version of Clonezilla be able to boot an Xserve? If so, any suggestions on troubleshooting are welcome.
