I bet your problem here is one too many levels of escaping being done. Try: linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=/ubuntu.iso splash -- memmap=16K\$0x0000000B4018000,16K\$0x0000000B2018000,4K\$0x0000000B401C000,4K\$0x0000000B201C000 A little more generic, and not linux specific way would be to use GRUB's cutmem command[1]. Based on the documentation, I think you could have the following lines at the top of the grub config: cutmem 2949216K 2949232K cutmem 2916448K 2916464K cutmem 2949232K 2949236K cutmem 2916464K 2916468K Glenn [1] https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/html_node/cutmem.html > > initrd (loop)/casper/initrd > } > > Then i booted ubuntu from live usb, and i wanted to double check if those > areas in the memory were reserved.
