How can we get the same menu as isolinux.cfg with grub2
I cannot use menu.lst since i am booting from an iso using grub2 for which i m using the loopback option in grub2
I want something like extlinux where in you just rename isolinux.cfg with exlinux.conf
But i cannot figure out how can I do the same with grub2
I have watched your enthusiasm since you joined, and I think that you have made significant contributions. If you will tone done the promotion of your site, "multidistro", etc. it will keep everything going more smoothly.
thanks
PS: You seem to be referring to some prior conversations that don't relate to OP's question. Please do something to tie all this together so it makes sense.
Well i read all the links you forwarded me and also i tried both
the option to boot kernels but that did not boot my red hat iso
It still gives me the error You need to load the kernel first
I of course tried to do the same with Knoppix. It has a bootfrom option, but according to some forum post I found it doesn’t work when not booting from a CDROM. So I would have to wait until knoppix is fixed before this would work. I also hope Debian, Red Hat, etc will eventually make this possible.
Well I have started loosing hope.
May its only possible for some ISO's and sadly my iso doesn't fall on the category.
The problem is no one has ever done this so its like doing by trial n error method.
I am probably thinking of taking a different approach like executing a script file from the grub which would mount the iso temporarily then boot from it may be.
I am also working on the extlinux process which works fine and i am trying to automate it through a script file so lets see.
If this would have worked it would have been just perfect but then there is nothing that you can do.
