memtest86+ for Debian
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Three binary images are provided:
|
|
|
|
- A legacy /boot/memtest86+.bin that uses Linux zImage boot
|
|
protocol.
|
|
|
|
- An experimental multiboot /boot/memtest86+_multiboot.bin image
|
|
that follows the Multiboot specification.
|
|
|
|
- A /boot/memtest86+.elf, should works on most of the systems but
|
|
in same cases where don't work the bin instead works, elf also
|
|
don't support serial console.
|
|
|
|
memtest86+ is automatically registered against grub2. For
|
|
other bootloaders you'll need to do some manual setup (see
|
|
examples/grub-menu.lst for GRUB Legacy or examples/lilo.conf for LILO),
|
|
or to make a boot-floppy, and reboot on this image.
|
|
|
|
An iso image to make it easier to use is also available as
|
|
/usr/lib/memtest86+/memtest86+.iso.
|
|
|
|
There are some grub2 variable supported in /etc/default/grub:
|
|
|
|
- GRUB_DISABLE_MEMTEST: if true don't add any memtest86+ entries
|
|
- GRUB_MEMTEST_DISABLE_SERIAL: if true don't add serial entries
|
|
- GRUB_MEMTEST_ENABLE_MULTIBOOT: if true add experimental multiboot
|
|
- GRUB_MEMTEST_SERIAL_PARAMS: custom serial parameters, default is
