Package: memtest86+
Version: 2.01-1.1
Severity: normal
I run an installation with Grub2.
The interesting lines in the script,
to gererate the memtest86+ entry in grub.conf,
look like this:
if test -e /boot/memtest86+.bin ; then
echo "Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin" >&2
cat << EOF
menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" {
linux ${GRUB_DRIVE_BOOT}/memtest86+.bin
}
EOF
But the variable GRUB_DRIVE_BOOT is not defined anywhere in my system
(nor i believe in some elses system), which brings this output in
/boot/grub/grub.conf:
linux /memtest86+.bin
which doesn't work in my case.
The solution to make it work for me is
changing /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ like this:
diff --git a/grub.d/20_memtest86+ b/grub.d/20_memtest86+
index 33677de..0740f60 100755
--- a/grub.d/20_memtest86+
+++ b/grub.d/20_memtest86+
@@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ if test -e /boot/memtest86+.bin ; then
echo "Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin" >&2
cat << EOF
menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" {
- linux ${GRUB_DRIVE_BOOT}/memtest86+.bin
+ linux /boot/memtest86+.bin
}
EOF
fi
But I assume that this is not a solution for people who have
a seperate boot partition.
