I'm very sorry -- although I had asked some questions about clonezilla on the list, I never ended up using it, and it's unlikely I could test this for you. I kept my list subscription because the list is low traffic and sometimes interesting even for a non-user. Since part of my day job is related to UEFI, this thread has caught my eye; but that's all I could do, unfortunately. Maybe the OP of this thread, Les Mikesell, could help with testing?
