Creating ISO with grub2

[opengeek]

I've finished to copy the Bare Bone kernel in C from the wiki.
Now I'm trying to create an .iso file with grub2 bootloader on it to boot my the Bare Bone kernel in VirtualBox.
I've read some wiki pages but everything that I've tried doesn't work.
Someone knows how to do it?

Thank you.

Code: Select all

man mkisofs

I've read this 3 or 4 times tonight, I'm not the typical guy that starts asking without trying all his weapons first.

[com]buster and reavengrey pointed me in the right direction in the IRC.

That's fine, but I wasn't to know that from your initial post!

Creating ISO with grub2 is not problem if kernel module answers multiboot specification.

Easy: GRUB_2

I wrote most of that page, and tested the instructions.
Then again, I wrote it over 6 months ago, but still..

Anyway, try the "ISO Instructions" section. I boot my OS with those instructions.

EDIT: I just broke 80 posts! Yipee!

You can't use stage1 and stage2, you need to use stage2_eltorito, a file used specifically for CDs and CD images(iso).

You can get it here:

ftp://ftp.linuxforum.hu/mirrors/frugalw ... 2_eltorito

This one should work, haven't made sure this is the right one.

He never said anything about stage1 or stage2.
Besides, those, IIRC, are for GRUB Legacy, not GRUB2!

Use the generated eltorito.img from the "ISO Instructions" section in the GRUB 2 wiki page, instead.
That image is for GRUB2. stage1 and stage2/stage2_eltorito are for GRUB Legacy.
