GRUB already has isolinux parser. But the case of booting ISOs is
different beca

All that work is just so not worth it. I'd rather do something else with my

The problem with grub2 is not that a really simple config does not work. The
problem is, that ALL what is a little bit more than a simple config is

The regular live iso also fails to boot from HDD with loopback. As
posted somewhere along the thread, it seems that debian's loopback
kernel module must be extracted and placed on the HDD. Then one must
interrupt the install, drop to

This is not entirely true (actually almost entirely wrong). Debain has no
provisions for booting iso images from a server. The netboot images work
just fine. (including live images)

Not to beat a dead horse, but I'd like to clarify a few issues that
seem to be not working.
1. I compiled and installed Grub_trunk on an old laptop, then copied
the debian.iso to a folder under (hd0,gpt*). Modified the grub.cfg and
tried to use "syslinux_configfile -i (loop)/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

I got it partially working. The background image changes to Debian, but
it displays "press any key to continue.." then drops back to the main
Grub menu. So what am I doing wrong here?
menuentry "Debian-Jesse-i386-lxde" --class gnu-linux --class gnu

Is there any link to usage with examples? The Grub manual does not
mention it & all I could find was from osdetect.cfg:
syslinux_configfile -i /isolinux/isolinux.cfg
Which still isn't much to go on.

Is there a method to chainload from grub2 -> grub_older
and grub2 -> isolinux?
Most live-cd's use an isolinux configuration with many menu items
embedded in the isolinux layer.
Instead of spending time trying to guess at these, a chainload boot
would be most helpful.
Thanks and Regards.
