Grub isn't finding its 2nd stage loader.  I usually still install a small /boot 
partition as the first thing on the disk like you had to back when bios 
couldn't 
  handle large drives so I don't know if it is sensitive to moving the 
partition 
offset when copying or if perhaps clonezilla didn't match a label or something. 
  In any case you can probably fix it by booting a rescue CD and re-installing 
grub.
