[?]Boot Debian Live image with Grub loopback loop line with Debian iso
My illustrious Team Members,
Acting on your advice on the Realtek thread, I have downloaded a Live
ISO of Debian Buster debian-live-10.8.0-amd64-lxde.iso and proceeded
from there.
I had created a lot of unnecessary noise (at that time, unduly made
anxious by no help received) across many List pages and Debian Forums.
The Legacy Grub2 issue has since been bypassed.
The Noises:
(1) Since 2015, my following question at Debian Forum lies unanswered:
[Boot Debian Live images with Grub2 loopback loop]
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=121092
Then there were these posts too to debian-boot@lists.debian.org,
debian-cd@lists.debian.org, pkg-grub-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net,
and debian-live@lists.debian.org, with the subject line:
[Four(4) problems, individually mentioned by three(3) emails and the rest]
at https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2019/09/msg00020.html
The limitations were gradually overcome by support received from
Debian leaders and persistent brain-storm.
I was able to make a satisfactory loopback loop line.
Inspired by the Debian-Live ISO, boot/grub/grub.cfg file, I could
reach thus far:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
menuentry "Debian GNU/Linux 10.8.0 Live amd64" {
echo 1
set isofile="/debian/debian-live-10.8.0-amd64-lxde.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,gptx)$isofile
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz-4.19.0-14-amd64 boot=live components
splash quiet "${loopback}"
initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img-4.19.0-14-amd64
submenu "Debian Live with Localisation Support" {
menuentry "English (en)" {
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz-4.19.0-14-amd64 boot=live components
locales=en_US.UTF-8 quiet splash
initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img-4.19.0-14-amd64
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then I was able to reach only up to (initramfs), snapshot at the
following Link: http://bit.do/Debian10-8-0_stallingHere
I most humbly request you to please be a little patient with me as I
am not as gifted as you are in these matters.
Best.
Rajib
