grml, the No-Frills Linux Rescue CD--USB

Hi joe,

in your article [1], you mention current grml not recognizing your
keyboard. Can you give us any more information so we can look at the
issue?

Please keep the list CC'ed in your replies.

Thanks,

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?

Theo

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

root-FS readonly after grml2hd

I just installed latest grml64 sid vi grml2hd and after rebooting from
disk /-filesystem ist mounted readonly. Tried it with several
combinations of filesystem and bootloader but always the same effect.

Any ideas? The boot-option in /etc/fstab says error=remount-ro but
there are no errors in dmesg with the harddisk.
