Package: memtest86+ Version: 4.00-2.2 Hello,
when I'm booting /boot/memtest86+_multiboot.bin on a Lenovo IdeaPad S12
VIA Nano w/ 3G RAM using grub2, it reports a wrong memory information
and lots of memory errors.
To compare this against the traditional /boot/memtest86+.bin image, I
added a grub2 menu entry via /etc/grub.d/40_custom:
menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+), traditional boot" {
linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin
}
When I'm booting this entry (which btw. works fine), everything works as
expected: memory information is displayed correctly, no errors are
shown.
Thus, I assume this issue is somehow related to the multiboot patch.
Here is what the traditional memtest86+.bin image reports as system
information:
Memtest86+ v4.00
VIA Isaiah (CN) 1596 MHz
L1 Cache: 64k 19704 MB/s
L2 Cache: 1024k 5284 MB/s
L3 Cache: None
Memory: 2814M 1471 MB/s
Here is what memtest86+_multiboot.bin reports instead (note the Memory:
line):
Memtest86+ v4.00
VIA Isaiah (CN) 1596 MHz
L1 Cache: 64k 19704 MB/s
L2 Cache: 1024k 5198 MB/s
L3 Cache: None
Memory: 640k 6514 MB/s
Thanks for your work & regards
Mario
