[arch-releng] Iso booting

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?
