Grub2 and isolinux.cfg
 

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


Thanks

lol
what's up niravshah?

so did you ever get redhat to boot from iso?


ahrrg!
First, did I already tell you about this one?

http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB

Note the kernel bootcodes grub2 is using

note the differences,?

that is a script, so maybe you can add your own iso's to it?

you gotta read all this too dude

Hi,

This is not proper.

It was actually a joke

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.

Hi linus72

How are you?

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 really appreciate your help man

Thanks

niravshah, where is the kernel?
in the iso or in the usb?

Its in the iso.The iso is inside the boot/iso directory in the usb.
this how my menuentry looks likes

menuentry "myiso boot" {
loopback loop /boot/iso/myiso.iso
linux (loop)/isolinux/vmlinuz --
initrd (loop)/isolinux/initrd.img
}

Seems maybe redhat can't do that

hmmm...?

what now?

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.

Any last thoughts anyone?
