It is the same principle as software RAID or LVM : the kernel has low-level support for these things, but userland utilities are needed to set things up: parse the LVM metadata, detect the RAID arrays, etc. If the root filesystem is on one of these, it is not possible to boot directly on it, there must be an initrd with the aforementioned userland utilities. To boot an ISO image on an USB device, the kernel would need to first mount the USB device (already a small challenge, since USB is asynchronous, but I believe it is widely supported nowadays), then find the ISO file on it, mount it as loopback and pivot on it. Some initrds provided by live images can do that, but not all. > The mention of GRML <http://grml.org/> may solve a unrelated issue. Hopefully, they will be unstuck at some point, the last release in 2014 is starting to be old.
