Hello.

I'm trying Tails 1.0 for the first time. I can successfully boot it from
a live DVD, but I can't from a custom live USB. It stops when the
progress bar at the bottom of the screen becomes completely white. I'm
speaking about the black screen with "Debian 6.0.9" on the bottom-right
corner.

I have put the Tails ISO in the /iso directory of my USB flash drive,
then I installed GRUB2 on it. This is my /boot/grub/grub.cfg:

menuentry "Tails 1.0 (64-bit)" {

  set iso=/iso/tails-i386-1.0.iso
  loopback loop ${iso}
  linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz2 boot=live config live-media=removable
  nopersistent noprompt timezone=Etc/UTC
  block.events_dfl_poll_msecs=1000 splash noautologin module=Tails quiet
  initrd (loop)/live/initrd2.img

}

If I remove the "splash" and "quite" kernel options and put "nosplash"
and "debug" instead, I get the following error message:

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

I get the same error message even if I also remove the
"live-media=removable" option.

I use this setup because it allows me to have various ISOs on the same
USB flash drive (I also have Ubuntu and SystemRescueCd ISOs, both
working perfectly).

Any ideas?

Thank you.
