I actually tried both :) grub-imageboot and grml-rescueboot. grml-rescueboot is only supposed to boot grml isos, not generic ones :) Im on current testing, btw > > > When I try to boot the isos, i get > > "Linux-bzImage error: file not found" > > i changed the conf-file > > What conf file? /etc/default/grub?? /etc/default/grub-imageboot I changed the folders the isos goes > > > to point to a directory on my home and run > > udpate-grub2 successfully. > > Did you see your isos being added to the grub.cfg?

The lvm is not usually handled by the live isos in my experience. Is that your question? The package grml-rescueboot manages to bootup images from lvm partitions :S > > > > This is the directory with the isos: > > > > rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 723517440 Dec 20 16:37 > > CentOS-6.1-x86_64-LiveCD.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 libvirt-qemu kvm 176160768 Sep 2 11:46 > > debian-6.0.2.1-amd64-netinst.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 679477248 Aug 30 10:47 > > debian-6.0.2.1-i386-CD-1.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 200278016 Aug 30 10:15 > > debian-6.0.2.1-i386-netinst.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 libvirt-qemu kvm 436207616 Nov 14 14:13 > > debian-6.0.3-amd64-i386-netinst.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 1173356544 Sep 3 04:49 > > debian-live-6.0.2-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 18874368 Dec 9 14:22 > > debian-testing-snapshot-2011.12-amd64-mini.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 1068 Aug 22 12:08 > > Fedora-15-i686-Live-CHECKSUM > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 592445440 Aug 22 13:01 > > Fedora-15-i686-Live-Desktop.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 633339904 Dec 20 16:46 > > Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 1077379072 Dec 1 12:02 > > linuxmint-12-gnome-dvd-32bit.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 1066518528 Nov 30 09:22 > > linuxmint-12-gnome-dvd-64bit.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 707788800 Dec 20 16:43 > > openSUSE-12.1-GNOME-LiveCD-x86_64.iso > > drwxr-xr-x 2 afuentes afuentes 4096 Nov 10 13:40 pkg > > -rw------- 1 afuentes afuentes 721127424 Aug 17 13:21 > > ubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-i386.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 vde2-net libvirt 713529344 Jul 19 22:05 > > ubuntu-10.04.3-server-amd64.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 732112896 Sep 8 14:21 > > ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 731164672 Dec 20 12:53 > > ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 715436032 Nov 15 15:48 > > ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 vde2-net libvirt 621817856 Aug 26 13:03 > > ubuntu-9.04-server-amd64.iso > > -rw-r--r-- 1 afuentes afuentes 434065408 Sep 8 14:30 > > xbmc-10.1-live.iso > > > > > > Does anybody know what am i missing? > > > > thanks! > > Alberto > > > > > I haven't used grub-imageboot for a while (since it was a Grml package) > but... when I did, I had the iso images beneath /boot on an USBKey using > FAT32.
