The (recent yet not latest) versions of Clonezilla that used Syslinux
5.xx will fail in some systems when writing the isohybrid image with
dd to the USB drive. Latest Clonezilla Live images correct this
problem (with Syslinux 6.03-pre1), among additional booting issues
that were resolved in the very latest testing Clonezilla release.
Recent versions of UBCD use Syslinux 4.07, which will also fail in
some systems when using dd' to write the isohybrid image to USB
drives. Using the included scripts or the manual methods should avoid
these issues.
