boot geexbox iso directly using grub

in menu.lst

title GeeXboX ISO1
map --mem --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 (hd0,0)/geexbox-2.0-alpha1-en.i386.eglibc.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)
boot

title GeeXboX ISO2
find --set-root /geexbox-2.0-alpha1-en.i386.eglibc.iso
map --mem --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 /geexbox-2.0-alpha1-en.i386.eglibc.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)

title    GeeXboX ISO3
find --set-root /geexbox-2.0-alpha1-en.i386.eglibc.iso
map --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 /geexbox-2.0-alpha1-en.i386.eglibc.iso (0xff) || map --mem --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 /geexbox-2.0-alpha1-en.i386.eglibc.iso (0xff)
map --hook
chainloader (0xff)
savedefault --wait=2

to add grub under windows, you need grldr
place it in c:\
and append a line in boot.ini
c:\grldr="boot grub loader"
then it will appears in the nt loader menu, when booing grub
it will search for menu.lst in the root

Hey! i tried those three entries but its not working for my geexbox (geexbox-1.2.4-en.i386.glibc.iso)

kissson said...

1.x branch is not supported
since the iso loader will not load itself from pxe

kissson said...

use GeeXboX Win32 Installer for 1.x iso (use sandboxie if you feel risky)

Which one of these entries will work for (geexbox-2.0-alpha2-en.i386.eglibc.iso) geexbox enna project

laughingman said...

And i wanna integrate this geexbox 1.2.4 & the enna alpha2 version to my multipass usb any ideas??????

laughingman said...

geexbox ntfs support

kissson said...

no idea

kissson said...

the usb boot support of 1.x branch is very broken , I tried few times and have no success

laughingman said...

me too!!!!!

i've been trying it for a couple of months. But i've fixed DSL iso to boot from my UFD with NTFS partition & tiny core too. Hey if you got any info about any media center distro's (LIVE's) which run from an NTFS PARTITION leave a comment or send me a mail ;)

Hey did you tried installing GEEXBOX 1.2.4 to a VHD (VHD-BOOT) & then boot it up from the USB ????
