Porteus

Im running from a loopback because i got a few fs corruption not long ago , and since iso is readonly everything appears be ALWAYS ok.

xzm modules are also read-only so corruption should not happen untill you use 'changes=' cheatcode.

none works. Never finds the image :/

show us your full grub2 config.

also:
did you try to boot without nohd cheatcode? does it work then? what about 'grep -A1 boot /var/log/porteus-livedbg' command which i asked you before?

It works fine with the grub.cfg below , but if i put hohd cheat
it wont boot.



menuentry "Porteus" {
set root=(hd0,2)
set isofile="/isos/p1.iso"
loopback loop $isofile
set gfxmode=1024x768
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod gfxterm
insmod vbe
linux (loop)/boot/vmlinuz from_iso=$isofile rw copy2ram noauto autoexec=xconf
initrd (loop)/boot/initrd.xz
}

i will send the 'grep -A1 boot /var/log/porteus-livedbg' asap.

as i was expecting: Grub2 is using it's own mount_iso implementation so from_iso= cheat is not necessary.
please try this line: 'rw' cheat is built into kernel so can be skipped, 'noauto' is also not needed when you have 'nohd' (internal hard disk wont be probed) and 'copy2ram' (all removable media - including CD - are ejected by default when copy2ram is used).

if that still wont work then please boot as before (without 'nohd') and post full /var/log/porteus-livedbg, and also output of 'cat /proc/cmdline' command (i'm suspecting that Grub2 may be adding some extra cheats to provided ones).

good luck!
