You already know how to edit those lines for your iso. Set isofile="/boot/grub/iso/linuxmint-16-mate-dvd-64bit.iso" Set isofile="/boot/grub/iso/linuxmint-16-kde-dvd-64bit-rc.iso" Set isofile="/boot/grub/iso/linuxmint-16-cinnamon-dvd-64bit.iso" Set isofile="/boot/grub/iso/linuxmint-13-cinnamon-dvd-64bit.iso" Set isofile="/boot/grub/iso/super_grub_disk_0.9799.iso" # menu entries you want to add after this comment. # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. When you open it, it will look like this: Then, as root, copy your iso into /boot/grub/iso

The procedure is slightly different for using grub on the hard drive.Ĭreate a folder called iso in the /boot/grub folder. Or, and this is how I use it most - if you just want to boot a new version to see what it looks and acts like, you can do it without the usb drive (it is faster to use the hard drive). The usb is handy, of course, if you are working on someone else's computer, but if you are installing to a different partition on your own computer, you don't need the usb. I don't use a usb drive to boot iso's to ram anymore. I am very glad you got it to work for you.īut, wait - there's more !!! (as they say on TV) Really pleased with this method so far, this is exactly what I was hoping to end up with To add more iso's to that menu you need to edit the file again (as root) each time you add another, so for example when I copied the boot repair iso to the USB drive I just needed to copy in and alter this part below, I pressed the return key once before pasting it in to leave a blank line inbetween entries just to make it easier to see where one starts and finishes. The lines that I changed from the ones austin pasted were the "menuentry" line and the "set isofile=" line - the "menuentry" line I think you can just type the name in there as you want it to appear, for the "set isofile=" line, I actually right mouse clicked on the iso file and went to 'properties' and copied the name exactly, then pasted it over the top of the entry that was in his as it was a later.newer version. Linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=$isofile noprompt noeject toram Set isofile="/iso/linuxmint-16-cinnamon-dvd-32bit.iso" Did you set the boot flag? You can check that withĬode: Select all # Begin /boot/grub/grub.cfg So the only thing that I can conclude is that you missed some little thing, and need to start over.

It booted and loaded the Mint 16 Cinnamon iso perfectly. I used your grub.cfg exactly as you posted it, changing nothing except changing 32bit.iso to 64bit.iso. It did take about 25 minutes to dd the drive. Next, I took a brand new, never used, 8GB flash drive today, and followed the instructions that I posted above exactly. I edited my grub.cfg file and removed the toram option, and it still worked fine. So that set root line does not seem to be critical. (Actually, I don't understand why it would work, but it does.) I just now booted the Mint 16 MATE iso on my usb drive into ram and used it. However, I now have 3 internal hard drives, and the usb still works fine, with no change in that line. Interestingly, my grub.cfg that you copied has set root=(hd2,0), which means that I have 2 internal hard drives, which is what I had when I wrote the grub.cfg. I am assuming that you have only one hard drive, and that is why you changed set root=(hd2,0) to set root=(hd1,0). When adding more iso's how does grub get updated? Manually editing the cfg file?
