To simplify your tests...
If you have enough space on your /boot on your HDD, you can do the following:
[1] Copy your ONIE-live-XYZ.iso (or whatever the true name is) there from USB stick to /boot partition;
[2] Simplify the grub.cfg script like this:
menuentry "ONIE: Embed ONIE" --class gnu-linux --class onie { echo "ONIE: Embedding ONIE ..." onie_entry_start set root='hd0,msdos1' ## hd0 is your HDD, 1 is /boot -> /dev/sda1) set isofile=/ONIE-live-XYZ.iso ## or whatever your ONIE... .iso image is named loopback loop $isofile *linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz* $ONIE_CMDLINE_LINUX boot_reason=embed install_url=file:///lib/onie/onie-updater *initrd (loop)/live/initrd.xz* onie_entry_end
If this does work, U R Cool. But you need to have at least size of ~ 2GB for /boot (assuming your .iso is no more than ~1.5 GB in size).
This is why I ALWAYS assign to /boot (/dev/sda1) NO LESS that 2GB in space! ;-)

Hi Zoran,
Thanks for the info.
With previously attached grub.cfg + Vendor BIOS, I can able to install ONIE from USB. But with Coreboot + GRUB2 + previously attached grub.cfg, I am unable to install ONIE from USB.
I am going to try your changes, I will let you know.
Thanks, Dhanasekar

Hello Dhanasekar,
This, I guess, is not (entirely) correct:
menuentry "ONIE: Embed ONIE" --class gnu-linux --class onie { echo "ONIE: Embedding ONIE ..." onie_entry_start *linux /vmlinuz* $ONIE_CMDLINE_LINUX boot_reason=embed install_url=file:///lib/onie/onie-updater
- initrd /initrd.xz*
onie_entry_end
You should have something similar to the following:
menuentry "ONIE: Embed ONIE" --class gnu-linux --class onie { echo "ONIE: Embedding ONIE ..." onie_entry_start set root='hdX,msdosY' ## hdX is your USB stick, Y partition, U R booting from, U should find going to GRUB2 monitor (with > prompt) set isofile=/<dir path>/ONIE-live-XYZ.iso ## or whatever your ONIE... .iso image is named loopback loop $isofile *linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz* $ONIE_CMDLINE_LINUX boot_reason=embed install_url=file:///lib/onie/onie-updater *initrd (loop)/live/initrd.xz* onie_entry_end
Please, investigate a bit more using google.com! And let us know if you did solve the problem (post the final grub2 menyentry which works for you).
Hope this helps to the whole community. ;-)

Hi Nico,
Sorry, It is typo. I have tried with *configfile (usb0)/boot/grub/grub.cfg* only..
with a new *boot/grub/grub.cfg*, I am getting following error,
*error: file '/vmlinuz' not found.*
*error: you need to load the kernel first. *
FYR, I have attached /boot/grub/grub.cfg(which is present in USB).
Thanks, Dhanasekar

Read what Taiidan wrote carefully:

For a grub.cfg, it's a plain *configfile* (not syslinux_configfile).
Nico
My USB ONIE installers has following files,
*/initrd.xz*
*/vmlinuz*
*/boot/boot.cat http://boot.cat*
*/boot/eltorito.img*
*/boot/grub/gurb.cfg*
*/boot/i386-PC/ *.mod (Lot of .mod files)*

Taiidan already told you the correct command name (33 lines below).
You
