Boot from iso option not working with grub2
Guys I want to have a grml small iso under the /boot/iso partition in Debian 6.0 with Grub2. My config in /boot/grub/grub.cfg is:
menuentry 'grml' { insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,msdos1) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set <uuid> echo 'Loading GRML Small' loopback loop (hd0,0)/iso/grml-small_2010.04.iso echo 'Loading Kernel' linux (loop)/boot/grmlsmall/linux26 boot=live vga=791 noeject noprompt echo 'Loading ramdisk' initrd (loop)/boot/grmlsmall/initrd.gz }
When I boot I get:
"error: cannot read the Linux header"
Any idea what am i doing wrong?

The 'hd0,0' can't be valid as grub2 starts counting partition numbers with 1.
Try to reduce your grub configuration to a minimum, see http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2009/05/25/boot-an-iso-via-grub2/ and http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg... for further details regarding the loopback feature.
