Current iso element uses 'search --file' to find the grub root. This is a wrong approach as it may find some other partition containing /vmlinuz. Instead modify it to search for grub root by the label of ISO image. Closes-Bug: 1384826 Change-Id: Id4217be3420597bed2f80a96788928259ec91582 |

Generates a bootable ISO image from the kernel/ramdisk generated by the
elements baremetal or ramdisk. It uses isolinux to boot on BIOS
machines and grub to boot on EFI machines.
This element has been tested on the following distro(s):
- ubuntu
- fedora
NOTE: For other distros, please make sure the isolinux.bin file
exists at /usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin.
baremetal element
When used with baremetal element, this generates a bootable ISO image
named <image-name>-boot.iso booting the generated kernel and ramdisk.
It also automatically appends kernel command-line argument
'root=UUID='. Any more kernel command-line
arguments required may be provided by specifying them in
DIB_BOOT_ISO_KERNEL_CMDLINE_ARGS.
NOTE: It uses pre-built efiboot.img by default to work for UEFI machines. This is because of a bug in latest version of grub[1]. The user may choose to avoid using pre-built binary and build efiboot.img on their own machine by setting the environment variable DIB_UEFI_ISO_BUILD_EFIBOOT to 1 (this might work only on certain versions of grub). The current efiboot.img was generated by the method build_efiboot_img() in 100-build-iso on Ubuntu 13.10 with grub 2.00-19ubuntu2.1.
ramdisk element
When used with ramdisk element, this generates a bootable ISO image
named <image-name>.iso booting the generated kernel and ramdisk. It also
automatically appends kernel command-line argument 'boot_method=vmedia'
which is required for Ironic drivers iscsi_ilo.
