When I boot I just get booting in blind mode, and sit there for 30 minutes without a change. I'm booting in efi by the way.
Here's my grub entry:
porteus='Porteus-CINNAMON-v3.2.2-x86_64.iso'
menuentry [loopback]$porteus {
set isofile='boot/iso/'$porteus
loopback loop $isofile
linux (loop)/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz vga=791 copy2ram
initrd (loop)/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
}
Anyone see anything I'm missing?

This is what I use with Grub2Win:
Code: Select all
menuentry " Porteus Cinnamon 3.2.2 ISO" --class slackware --class icon-porteus {
set linux_folder=/porteus3.2
set iso=/ISOs/Porteus-CINNAMON-v3.2.2-x86_64.iso
set boot_parms="volume=33 reboot=cold changes=EXIT:$linux_folder/changes/porteussave.dat extramod=$linux_folder/Modules"
# set boot_parms="nomodeset verbose delay=8 volume=33 reboot=cold changes=EXIT:$linux_folder/changes/porteussave.dat extramod=$linux_folder/Modules"
# set gfxpayload=1024x768
search -f $iso --set=root
loopback loop $iso
linux (loop)/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz from=$iso $boot_parms
initrd (loop)/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
}
Note the "from=" cheatcode.
And be sure Secure Boot option is disabled on the EFI system.
