Tried this. I get:
Welcome to Grub (in inverse video)
error file not found
Entering rescue mode
grub rescue>
How I tried:
At the grub prompt I gave the following
multiboot (hd0,5)/boot/grub/core.img
Note that "root=(something,else); multiboot
(hd0,5)/boot/grub/core.img" is *not* functionally equivalent to
"root=(hd0,5); multiboot (hd0,5)/boot/grub/core.img". The multiboot
loader actually uses the value of $root and passes that information
along to the kernel its loading, in the case of loading grub it's used
to find the correct device value for $prefix.
Try actually using "search --set=root --fs-uuid=UUID_HERE; multiboot
/boot/grub/core.img".
Same result; viz. I get this
Welcome to Grub (in inverse video)
error file not found
Entering rescue mode
grub rescue>
Slightly different words if I put --fs-uuid=UUID_HERE
Exactly the above when there is no '=' sign
Also tried with label (which is my original) -- same thing
I preceded that line by a
insmod multiboot
Multiboot works only with grub version is 2.00. Not with version 1.99
and below. You can try to boot the vmlinuz/initrd directly with
menuentry "Debian bootloader" {
search --label --set=root Debian500G
linux /vmlinuz root=LABEL=Debian500G ro
initrd /initrd.img
}
