I am trying to add the Clonezilla live iso to my multiboot USB key. Every other distro seems to work, but Clonezilla boots to the prompt
(initramfs)
instead of launching properly.
I have modified the original menuentry in the same way I did the others and even tried the findiso
parameter I found while reading old forum posts. It did not help.
The setup consists of grub installed on a 8GB vfat USB key with the config in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and the images in /isos/
. This is my config (clonezilla one last, with the original entry appended).
What am I missing?

Pasted in its entirety in case someone wants to use it. Original file names as of 140221.
Is this the debian based Clonezilla? The one i have is the ubuntu based one. If I remember correctly it was something about extra drivers... – tommyo – 2014-04-12T18:51:09.960
@tommyo Yes, I am using the Debian based version. Note that you only need to use the Ubuntu version if you really need the property drivers. In any case, tomorrow I'll try and see if I can get the Ubuntu based version to work. – Isaac – 2014-04-13T03:13:13.017
@tommyo OK, so I went ahead and tested the Ubuntu version. Didn't have a problem. Will update my answer, and share the menu entry. From my tests, it does take a while (about 1-2 minutes) before anything appears on the screen – Isaac – 2014-04-13T03:54:53.423
@tommyo Turns out my code was exactly the same as yours o.O – Isaac – 2014-04-13T03:55:19.307
@Isacc: Well, that is confusing. – tommyo – 2014-04-13T14:17:38.193
@tommyo Hmmm... Could you try updating to the latest ISO? (In case there is a bug causing a problem in the version you are using.) Also: Let it sit for at least 5 minutes, as it can take a while. – Isaac – 2014-04-13T18:59:44.287
