Hi, if you reply to this mail, then please also o bug-grub@gnu.org, not only to me in private. (A private Cc to me is unnecessary but would be ok.)

That would make an ISO which would boot only via Legacy BIOS and only from CD-ROM. Your disk.img would be in the ISO image as partition 2.) What do the following commands report ? path_to_iso=...path.to.your.ISO.image... xorriso -indev "$path_to_iso" -report_el_torito plain -report_system_area plain (Please send the output as text - not as screenshot - to this list: bug-grub@gnu.org ) > I booted the ISO in Virtual Box. As what kind of device did you submit the ISO image to Virtual Box ? CD-ROM ? Hard disk ? > During boot, i see grub is detecting the ext2 partition as part of cd drive > and as type Iso9660.

I am quite sure that GRUB would not mistake an ext2 for an ISO 9660 filesystem. With the answers to above questions it should be possible to find out whether partition 1 is indeed the ISO 9660 filesystem or an ext2. (Or to propose runs of "dd | file" which then tells what is in the partitions.) > also, i was expecting my ext2 partition to be detected as part of hd0. Are you sure that (hd0) has anything to do with the ISO image ? Did you inquire its filesystem type and look at the files in it ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
