Acronis B&R 11 - reboot on Linux-LiveCD

Thread needs solution

Hi, today I setup a new clean image from scratch of Windows 7 Enterprise on a HP Z620 Workstation, when a clean Windows image was done I booted the machine on a Linux Live-CD, (latest version) and made a backup, worked without a problem. When I later had installed all the apps I wanted on the machine I wanted to make a new image, now the machine just reboots without an error when "Starting Acronis Managed Machine Service" is loading. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? It worked perfect earlier today on the same machine. The machine refuses to boot on anything else than UEFI.

Regards

Hello David Eliasson,

Thank you for posting this question in our forum. I am happy to assist you. 

Can you please specify the situation more? As I understood, you have installed Windows 7 and then created a backup from it, using the Acronis bootable media. Then you booted into Windows again and installed all applications you want to have. 

At this point I suggest to reboot the Windows system at least one time before booting it again with the Acronis bootable media.

At what step exact you got this message of the "Starting Acronis Managed Machine Service" is loading?

I am looking forward for your answer.

Thank you.

Hi Peter, thanks for helping out.
I have rebooted the machine at least 5 times and tried to boot on the Acronis 11 bootable media. It gives the same result every time.
After seeing, "Loading Network Connection Setting" it jumps to "Starting Acronis Managed Machine Service" then this image is shown for about 5-10 seconds and then the machine just reboots, I guess it´s some sort of kernel panic, it doesn´t give any error messages or anything. The weird thing is that the same bootable CD worked perfectly the first time I used it one the very same machine when the disk just had a clean install of Windows 7 Enterprise installed, nothing else. The machine has a SSD as the systemdrive and a 1TB WD HDD for storage, can this be the cause of the problem? I have also updated the machines BIOS to the latest version since this problem occured but the problem persists.

Hope you can find an answer to this problem.

Hello David Eliasson,

Thank you for your quick reply.

It seems, that the Linux bootable media is not able to detect the hardware in your machine correctly. In this situation the best workaround is to create a Windows based bootable media (WinPE). The benefit is the ability to use Windows 32bit drivers for chipset, netword card and mass storage. Please see these articles from our knowledge base:

If you need additional assistance, please create a system report of the affected machine and contact support. You will find all available support options in our Customer handbook.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let me know.

Thank you.
