I don't even try to use FOSS memtest86+ on UEFI PCs. Instead, I use the free version of the proprietary memtest86 from https://www.memtest86.com/. I run it from this Grub stanza in /boot/grub/custom.cfg on my fastest/newest x86_64 PC: menuentry "memtest86 7.4 EFI" { search --no-floppy --label --set=root TM8P01ESP chainloader /mt74x64.efi } That menu entry is pointing to the FAT32 ESP partition, which has the filesystem label TM8P01ESP. The current free version is much newer than 7.4. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
