I tried to boot the iso using editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom

It booted properly.
It started the boot process.Every thing went fine.  I am sorry i dont
remember the exact step but system got stuck.Mouse pointer was
shown,Black screen,num-LOCK was stuck.Mouse pointer stuck



Here is my 40_custom

menuentry "UbuntuLucid" {
 loopback loop /wrk/ubu/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso
 linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper
iso-scan/filename=/wrk/ubu/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso  noeject
noprompt --
 initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

Dont forget to update-grub after u edit this file


Can anyone check if the boot from iso method works  for them.
