Well done. I recently revived the BadRAM kernel patch in order to do something similar; memtest86+ supports that functionality too, using , , , .
I'm curious: What's motivating you to do that when the memmap param can do the same without patching?
This is amazing!! I had no idea this was possible!
One point of feedback: not having worked with memmap before, it is not immediately obvious to me which hex means what (I am guessing RANGE@START? ). Would be nice to have a link to an explanation there.
I am definitely sharing this, thank you for writing the blog!
Thank you, I'm glad you like!

I just have the link to the kernel docs because I think they do a better job explaining it than I would ๐
But yeah, basically. Except for this use-case you want RANGE$START not @. And you can use human sizes like 128M$RANGE.
Ooh, that rasdaemon looks interesting. thank for sharing!
