Grub boot ISO from HDD(NTFS)

[sonichy]

I need to boot from HDD not USB(Ventoy). Edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom, add these at end, sudo update-grub.

Success

menuentry "ubuntu 16" {
    set root=(hd0,5)
    set isofile="/ISO/ubuntu-16.04.7-desktop-amd64.iso"
    loopback loop $isofile
    linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=$isofile locale=zh_CN
    initrd (loop)/casper/initrd
}

Fail

menuentry "elementaryos" {
    set root=(hd0,5)
    set isofile="/ISO/elementaryos-5.1-stable.20200814.iso"
    loopback loop $isofile
    linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz boot=casper iso-scan/filename=$isofile locale=zh_CN
    initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}
