Timed out for waiting the udev queue being empty during Clonezilla boot Win Server 2012 R2 Template
-
While migrating from Vmware to XCP-NG I ran into an issue where Clonezilla wouldn't load after the initial boot menu when using the Windows Server 2012 R2 template. I received this error:
Timed out for waiting the udev queue being empty
Fortunately I just ran into a similar issue where Clonezilla would have a scrambled display after the boot menu with the Windows 10 Template and I found this forum post:
Re: Scrambled display booting Clonezilla (and linux) ISOs under Win10 template
using this command:
xe vm-param-set uuid=<UUID of your VM goes here, no brackets> platform:device_id=0001Then booting CloneZilla and selecting the KMS boot option fixed the issue. After cloning shut down the VM and change the device ID back with:
xe vm-param-set uuid=<UUID of your VM goes here, no brackets> platform:device_id=0002
I would have replied on the original post but it wasn't the same issue and the post was a little old. Hope this helps

Thanks! I believe it might be a bug with Clonezilla on specific "BIOS" settings. Platform ID will set some specific things used for Windows, but that should prevent a Linux kernel to boot
