This makes it unusable at the command line. I'd suggest something like the following: LABEL test-img-iso-file MENU LABEL ** ^TEST IMG/ISO File. 2) Based on #1, I'm left to assume you're using (vesa)menu.c32. Is this true? 3) HOW does it fail? What unexpected behavior do you observe? -- -Gene

[1] Done the needful and is as follows; LABEL test-img-iso-file MENU LABEL ** ^TEST IMG/ISO File. kernel /test/memdisk initrd test/filename.iso append iso # [if not use iso raw] TEXT HELP [Tab] >Use (i) iso initrd=test/filename.iso OR (ii) initrd=test/filename.extn However sorry to say it FAILS as before. [2] Yes I am using vesamenu.c32. [3] Simply Returns back to "Bootable Menu" without any messages. --- Prof S W Damle
Hello, Changed to as follows and Now it works OK. LABEL test-img-iso-file MENU LABEL ** ^TEST IMG/ISO File. TEXT HELP # [Tab] >Use (i) iso initrd=/test/filename.iso OR (ii) # initrd=/test/filename.extn # [if not use iso raw] ENDTEXT kernel /test/memdisk initrd /test/filename.iso append iso Thanks again.
