Bug Description
Using LMDE in a multiboot usb (https:/
set drive_uuid=
set isopath=/boot
#works when /dev/disk/by-uuid/ is used in the fromiso parameter
menuentry "Linux Mint 201204-
set isofile=
loopback loop $isofile
linux (loop)/
initrd (loop)/
}
#fails with ...Linux Mint 201204-
menuentry "Linux Mint 201204-
set isofile=
loopback loop $isofile
linux (loop)/
initrd (loop)/
}
The fromiso issue may also need fixing in 32-bit Mint 13's...
For sure the mount.ntfs bug needs fixing: forums. linuxmint. com/viewtopic. php?f=46& t=103062& start=20& hilit=mount. ntfs+syntax+ error
