I tried following and modifiying this post from bat999

========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"antix.freeforu ms.org/booting-antix-with-grub-2-t3720.html"
linktext was:"antix.freeforu ms.org/booting-ant ... t3720.html"
====================================

but I keep getting errors like"Bummer, could not open /init.d/rcS" or something like that.
Anybody has a menuentry that will work with antiX-M11-686.iso
thanks

No personal experience with that but I ran across This

PS
It's written for ubuntu so you'll have to allow for that

Thanks cap for the research. I was looking for specific options on the 'linux' line to boot antiX. I eventually got it to boot by using options read from syslinux.

Great! Could you elaborate a bit? TIA

Sorry for the delay, just couldn't get it to boot from grub.
Here is one entry that does work:


menuentry 'antiX-cli-install' {
# Where is the kernel?
set root=(hd0,gpt12)
loopback loop (hd0,gpt12)/antiX-M11-686.iso
# 'boot=boot'. Again, where the kernel and initrd.gz are.
# 'root=/dev/sda12' is where /, the root partition ,and /sbin/init/ will be.
# fromiso=antiX-M11-686.iso is where the iso file is located.
linux (loop)/boot/vmlinuz boot=boot root=/dev/sda12 fromiso=/antiX-M11-686.iso
initrd (loop)/boot/initrd.gz
}

I believe the linux line needs to be edited to boot the other 'flavors'. I'll post them when I get them working.
Enjoy
