Current Clonezilla is amd64-only. The menu now checks the CPU with iPXE's
cpuid --ext 29 (long mode): 64-bit CPUs get the current release (through
Debian's shim under Secure Boot), 32-bit-only CPUs (Pentium 4 without
EM64T, Pentium M, early Atom) get Clonezilla 3.2.0-5 i686, the last
32-bit release, from clonezilla-i686/. Without a cpuid command the 32-bit
build is used, which also runs on 64-bit CPUs; UEFI always gets the
64-bit build. A 'Clonezilla Live 32-bit' item forces it.
prepare-boot-tools.sh downloads it, the playbook deploys it.
Clonezilla Live runs a Debian-signed kernel whose modules (usb-storage,
uas, exfat) are signed by the same build key, so the menu now starts it
through Debian's Microsoft-signed shim with the iPXE shim command, the
same way Blancco uses Ubuntu's. prepare-boot-tools.sh extracts that shim
from the Clonezilla release (EFI/boot/bootx64.efi -> clonezilla/
shimx64.efi) and warns when the shim is not Microsoft-signed or the
kernel not Debian-signed.
Memtest86+ is unsigned and needed Secure Boot off; memory tests now use
the Dell built-in diagnostics (F12 at power-on, Diagnostics), noted in
the menu. The playbook removes the old memtest web dir. Nothing on the
menu needs Secure Boot off any more; the 'disable Secure Boot' screen
remains only as the fallback when a signed path fails.
Single-site bay-stuck issue at WJ: GE Intune Report IP script filters
Get-NetIPAddress on StartsWith("10.") and posts everything matching
to the GE Tines webhook. Bays at WJ get the PXE LAN 10.9.100.x IP
captured and reported -> GE backend tags bays as on a non-corp 10.x
subnet -> dynamic group eligibility for SFLD policy never matches.
Other GE sites work because their PXE LANs aren't on 10.x at all.
Renumber PXE LAN to RFC1918 172.16.9.0/24 so the GE filter naturally
skips wired PXE addresses without any disable-NIC dance.
Server-side already in flight (netplan dual-bound, dnsmasq scope +
boot URL repointed, blancco preferences + grub.cfg + iPXE GetPxeScript
all sed'd to 172.16.9.1). This commit is the playbook / scripts /
docs side: 109 hits across 35 files sed'd in one shot.
After this lands + boot.wim is rebuilt + bays renumber off DHCP,
the 10.9.100.1 binding will be dropped from netplan as the final
cleanup step.

Two new docs cover what the system is (boot chain, services, shares,
enrollment layout, data flow) and what to change per site (every
hardcoded value, where it lives, secrets handling).
scripts/mirror-from-gold.sh replicates content from an existing PXE
server (Operating Systems, drivers, packages, custom installers, BIOS,
PCDMIS, Blancco custom image, site-config) onto a freshly-installed PXE
server. Translates the legacy flat enrollment layout on the source into
the reorganized taxonomy (ppkgs/, pre-install/installers/, installers-
post/cmm/, blancco/, config/) on the destination. Tolerates rsync
exit 23 (permission-denied subdirs like the OpenText W10shortcuts dir
that is pxe-upload-group-only on legacy servers).
