You are right. It works without using the APPEND option,like this : (inside
the file grub.cfg)
menuentry "Custom Graphical Debian Installer" {
linux /d-i/gtk/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/preseed.cfg auto=true
video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=788 "${loopback}"
initrd /d-i/gtk/initrd.gz
}
anyway,I don't know if it's correct to use something like this in the
ISOLINUX/menu.cfg file :
LABEL Custom Graphical Debian Installer
SAY "Booting Custom Graphical Debian Installer..."
linux /d-i/gtk/vmlinuz
APPEND boot=casper file=/cdrom/preseed/preseed.cfg auto=true
initrd=/d-i/gtk/initrd.gz append video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=788
the APPEND parameter that you see was there by default. Is that correct ?
Otherwise,is something like this ok ?
linux /d-i/gtk/vmlinuz boot=casper file=/cdrom/preseed/preseed.cfg
auto=true initrd=/d-i/gtk/initrd.gz append video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=788
