Package: memtest86
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Some people (like me ;) are still using serial consoles; memtest86 has an 
option to enable it (one 
small change in config.h), but it's disabled by default (since it slows down 
the test). It would 
be nice to build (differently named, perhaps) package that includes 
serial-console support. Tagged 
'important' because even though it's fairly easy to configure basic components 
of Debian system 
(boot loader, kernel messages, login console, etc...), but standard memtest86 
does not work that 
way.

Exactly the same bug and patch applies to memtest86+ - I shall not report it 
twice.

Regards,

M.
