<p dir="auto">The iso I’m trying to load is a customized lubuntu image which boots and works just fine as a live image on some local host computer as well as in a virtual box. I have mounted the .iso file in the [url]<a href="http://$" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">http://$</a>{fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty[/url] directory using the command:<br />
[INDENT=1]mount -o loop lublive1.iso trusty/[/INDENT]</p>
<p dir="auto">Configuration 1:</p>
<p dir="auto">:lublive1<br />
initrd [url]<a href="http://$" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">http://$</a>{fog-ip}/fog/lublive/lublive1.iso[/url]<br />
chain memdisk iso raw ||<br />
goto MENU</p>
<p dir="auto">The iso image appears to download, the lubuntu splash screen appears with the loading bar, then it shows the following:</p>

boot</p>
<p dir="auto">it appears to load vmlinuz and initrd but then the screen becomes blank and is unresponsive, I let it sit for a while in case it was loading the image and just taking a while but nothing happened.</p>
<p dir="auto">I also tried booting the unaltered standard lubuntu image and although it didn’t show the initial Memdisk errors as before, it still loaded a BusyBox shell and said “Unable ot find a medium containing a live file system”</p>
<p dir="auto">Any help or insight would be much appreciated.</p>
