Have an odd problem, trying to boot an iso from grub2 using

menuentry "Archlinux-2011.08.19-netinstall-x86_64.iso" { set isofile="/iso/archlinux-2012.07.15-netinstall-dual.iso" loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile linux (loop)/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz archisolabel=ARCH_201207 img_dev=/dev/sda1 img_loop=$isofile earlymodules=loop initrd (loop)/arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img }

menuentry "ArchBang" { set isofile="/iso/archbang-2012.07.26-x86_64.iso" loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile linux (loop)/arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz archisolabel=ARCHBANG img_dev=/dev/sda1 img_loop=$isofile earlymodules=loop initrd (loop)/arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img }

The first menuentry works fine but ArchBang refuses to boot, both are in the same directory on the same disc.

Odd thing is that /dev/disk/by-label is not created in Archbang, both isos have the same hooks loops, tried with latest archiso from git but no joy.

Can anyone shed any light on the problem?
