Am trying to get ubuntu-16.04-server-amd64.iso ISO file to boot from grub 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1.7 found in Ubuntu 14.04 server.

menuentry "Ubuntu 16.04 Server AMD64" --class ubuntu {
  set isopath="/boot/iso"
  set isoname="ubuntu-16.04-server-amd64.iso"
  set isofile="${isopath}/ubuntu/${isoname}"
  echo "Using ${isoname}..."
  loopback loop $isofile
  linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=${isofile}
  initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

When writing ls in grub mode I can see that my file exist at (hd0,msdos1)/boot/iso/ubuntu-16.04-server-amd64.iso. How can I construct a grub menu entry so I can boot into that ISO file?

Please keep in mind that this is not the Live Ubuntu Desktop ISO file but the server version.

Change line

linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=${isofile}

to

linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz.efi boot=casper iso-scan/filename=${isofile}

and voila! Should work.
