With grub2, don't need chainload or syslinux. Boot directly using
loopback. With usb, it is also not an issue as long as uuid is specified.
You just open the image with the loopback command and that's it (or
"boot" when interactive)?

Do not really understand your question, (don't need penlinux, maybe
hence your question, just boot using grub2) but here's my menuentry in
grub2, should be self-explanatory.
menuentry "Iso - natty-b1" {
search --set -f /iso/kubuntu-11.04-beta1-desktop-amd64.iso
loopback loop /iso/kubuntu-11.04-beta1-desktop-amd64.iso
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper
iso-scan/filename=/iso/kubuntu-11.04-beta1-desktop-amd64.iso noeject
noprompt
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}
note: I put iso file in directory 'iso' on a (any) partition.
you can of course use the usual
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
for grml and others which don't use casper, use boot=live and use
findiso instead of iso-scan, but you can check this out by mount -o loop
the iso file first and watch for initrd.lz vs initrd.gz which is more
commonly used.
Also you can use 'persistent' in linux line with a partition labeled
'casper-rw' to keep any changes (except kernel updates).
