Can't boot the slim-iso

Danielgb23 commented 2 years ago

Trying to boot the iso on an exfat partition with the following grub entry

menuentry 'Black Arch Linux Slim 2021.09.01 x86_64' {
    archisobasedir=blackarch 
    archisolabel=BLACKARCH_202108
    set isofile='/iso/blackarch-linux-slim-2021.09.01-x86_64.iso'
    loopback loop ($isopart)$isofile
    linux (loop)/blackarch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz-linux img_dev=$imgdevpath img_loop=$isofile earlymodules=loop
    initrd (loop)/blackarch/boot/intel-ucode.img (loop)/blackarch/boot/amd-ucode.img (loop)/blackarch/boot/x86_64/initramfs-linux.img

I get the following error screen: I t seems to be missing a folder airootfs in the install. When I mount the is I get the following file structure:

blackarch:

Which is different to what I find in the iso folder in this repository

Just to make sure, did you verify the checksum of the iso you downloaded? I am not a big fan of grub, always had issues with it, but from what I can tell, your entry looks correct.

On a side note, is there a reason why you prefer to boot from the iso instead of installing the system?

I am closing this, as there hasn't been any input in nearly a month. Feel free to reopen if your issue still persists
