Boot ISO from Grub
#1
GRUB2 is able to directly boot ISO's and I use this feature often, but LinuxLite does not work.

Add the menu entry as shown:

Code:
menuentry "LinuxLite ISO" {
set isofile="/linux-lite-2.2-32bit.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,2)$isofile
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=${isofile}
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.gz
}

The ISO boots but produces lines stating "Can't open /dev/sr0" and "/dev/sdb" then "(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system."

Looking for help on other forums, I found this topic that describes the problem accurately and gives a solution:

http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/node/197

Quote:I notice that I didn't include lupin-casper:
Description: Add support for loop-mount installations to casper
I am adding that package to the iso image and will test that....
That worked!

Can this fix be included to the LinuxLite ISO too please?
