grub2 loop back is not working

grub2 loop back is not working

[J. Bakshi]

Dear list,

I have upgraded my grub installed in my pendrive from 1.95 to 1.99
And now the .iso images are not booting any more. oOne such configuration
is

`  `  `  `
 menuentry "Ubuntu Live 11.10 64bit" {

	set root=(hd0,2)
        loopback loop (hd0,2)/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso
        linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso noeject noprompt --
        initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

` ` ` ` `

I have found only the entry having loop is causing the problem.
How can I use the configuration in grub2 then ?

Thanks

1.95 is very old anyway. Also now we're in release process for 2.00 and
I suggest trying latest HEAD.
"not booting" is very vague. You have to be way more precise than that

Thanks for your response. As I have mentioned, the problem is with those
having loop as below.

grub reports

error: no menuentry defination
error: syntax error
error: Incorrect command
error: syntax error


I have found only the entry having loop is causing the problem.
How can I use the configuration in grub2 then ?
