I found this bug report by googling. Here is my experience. /dev/sda7 ext3 /dev/sda8 crypt-luks partition /dev/sda9 ext3
grub.cfg in MBR pointed to an iso in /dev/sda9. On boot, I got the message mounting /dev/sda8 on /isodevice failed. This message disappeared, and boot succeeded once I moved the iso from /dev/sda9 to /dev/sda7 and changed the pointer in grub.cfg. It seems clear that the crypt-luks partition acts as a barrier of some kind. I speculate that it may be impossible to boot an iso in any partition with partition number higher than the crypt-luks partition. Note that I have also booted an iso from /dev/sda3 previously. Only /dev/sda9 was problematic. In the meantime I have overwritten /dev/sda8, so no further testing is possible. -- booting iso from stick via grub2 loopback gets stuck on particular crypt-luks partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520500 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
