Probably one of you have managed to run memtest86 on a 64-bit Intel
box (hp-xw6600)
~
I downloaded and burned memtest86 Version 4.0b (Server) (26-Oct-2011)
onto a CD, but when I boot up the box from the CD all I see is:
~
Memtest86 Version 4.0b Server
-----------------------------
Select Version:
1) Boot V4.0b Server (Default)
2) Boot V4.0a
3) Boot V3.5b
boot: 1
Loading memtest.....ready.
~
I don't see any progress screen or anything. Running "cat
/proc/cpuinfo | grep flag"
~
flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov
pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe lm
constant_tsc pebs bts pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl cid cx16 xtpr lahf_lm
~
so it handles Long Mode (lm) (64-bit) and the installed memory:
"dmidecode --type memory" show to me 2 DMI types. Two of which look
like:
~
# dmidecode 2.9

The version of memtest with knoppix apparently is the 32 bit one
(same with Ubuntu, which does not seem to have a 64-bit version for
AMD software)
~
why is memtest not working? How can I make it run on my box?
~
thanks
