Hi,

I try to use Clonezilla Server edition with Debian Lenny (server and
client). My clients have a Broadcom NIC, so the firmware is not supplied by
the tftp server. I can boot by PXE and access to the grub-like interface,
but at the system starting, I've firmware related errors (the classical
error which says it doesn't find the firmware), and I get the busybox.

I tried to use /opt/drbl/sbin/mknic-nbi -if without success.

/tftpboot/node_root # find . | grep bnx
./lib/firmware/bnx2-06-4.0.5.fw
./lib/firmware/bnx2-09-4.0.5.fw
./lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko
./lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2x.ko
./var/lib/dpkg/info/firmware-bnx2.list
./var/lib/dpkg/info/firmware-bnx2.postinst
./var/lib/dpkg/info/firmware-bnx2.md5sums

# /opt/drbl/sbin/mknic-nbi

Trying to find the kernel in /tftpboot/node_root
The selected kernel for DRBL clients is: 2.6.26-2-686
Kernel 2.6 or 3 was found, so default to use initramfs.

Trying to update the /tftpboot/node_root/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686 from

Use kernel modules from /tftpboot/node_root//lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686.
Trying to include network card firmwares if they exist in
/tftpboot/node_root//lib/firmware/...

Initramfs, remove ramdisk_size/ramdisk_block in

Finished!

I don't see how to resolve this problem.

Thanks,
