Bad words are 0x00000000 if test 7 is started immediately, else they correspond to the last written pattern before i ran test #7.
Since i only see the problem with i386 builds (my machine is i386 but the x64 version of memtest seems to run fine), i decided to re-build the memtest from the source package. However, this did not make any difference. memtest86+_4.20-1.1ubuntu2_i386: False errors on test #7 (both self-build and original) memtest86+_4.20-1.1ubuntu2_x64: No false errors I forgot to mention that the PC is a laptop. I have an identical one but haven't been able to run memtest on that laptop yet. I tested with a 256MB and (later) with only a 1GB memory module. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090116 Title: Memtest86+ finds errors in almost every computer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/1090116/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
