12 I'm on the same GRUB version.
13
14 Unfortunately, I don't have enough space to place the ISO in the /boot
15 partition and I don't use an initrd.
16
17 Trying this stanza:
18
19 title KNOPPIX ISO
20 root (hd0,9) <-- this is my current boot partition <--
21 chainloader (hd0,10)/KNOPPIX_V7.0.5DVD-2012-12-21-EN.iso
22
23 Gives me this error: Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format,
24 which tells me that it doesn't like/recognise the particular ISO image.
25
26 Trying to understand your grub entry - what is /boot/memdisk? Have you built
27 some eltorito image for your purpose? How does it work?
