For the past several years, I keep trying to boot from the ISO instead of burning a DVD. Each time I give up. I’ve tried it again, and it would be much easier for me to burn this one. However, I’m looking to make it easier for the next one. I’ve read where other distributions can, but have not found any instructions for openSUSE. I’m close, but it says something like can’t load the source.
Here’s what I have. Some may be a mangle from what I read about other distributions. The “search --set -f /live/vmlinuz” was left over from a live CD.
menuentry "openSUSE-Leap-42.1-DVD-x86_64 ISO install" {
set isofile="/Downloads/LinuxISO/openSUSE-Leap-42.1-DVD-x86_64.iso"
set root=(hd0,5)
install=hd:sda5:/Downloads/LinuxISO/?device=sda6
loopback loop $isofile
search --set -f /live/vmlinuz
linux (loop)/boot/x86_64/loader/linux boot=live username=user config quiet noswap edd=on nomodeset noeject locales= keyboard-layouts= ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_batch=no vga=791 ip= nosplash i915.blacklist=yes radeonhd.blacklist=yes nouveau.blacklist=yes vmwgfx.enable_fbdev=no
initrd (loop)/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd
}
I see device=sda6 should maybe be sda5. I don’t know if that’s the problem. sda5 is where the iso is. I want to install it on sda6. When I click on the menu, it appears to load drivers up to the point it says something about not completed and asks me for the network. Hitting “back” a few times asks for the source URL. hd:/ is listed.
I don’t know if it is asking me for the source for the iso or the source in the iso. Such as /boot or /images/ or /suse. Can someone give the explicit grub menu command for the openSUSE-Leap-42.1-DVD-x86_64 install?
