Hi, Thanks for finally looking at this bug.
I have attached a patch file suitable for the command "patch", here is how to use it : unpack the original memtest86+ version 4.20 source files from http://www.memtest.org/download/4.20/memtest86+-4.20.tar.gz in a directory called "memtest86+-4.20" (the name from the original TAR file). Make a copy of these original files: "cp -rp memtest86+-4.20/ memtest86+-4.20.original/" and apply the patch there : "patch < patch- diff". Then you can build the memtest.bin image. The command "file" should display it as "bzImage" instead of the original "zImage" so GRUB can load it through its "linux" command in place of "linux16". The program calls itself version 4.50 which never existed. Unfortunately, I made this patch more than a year ago and now I'm blind when testing it: more precisely my Ubuntu box boots with GRUB2 and GRUB2 is a mess and shows incapable of keeping the screen in basic text mode whatever its options are set to. All my attempts turned to a blind boot, still the program is probably running OK although not displaying anything because a press on ESC reboots my computer properly. I will try ELILO or rEFInd to see if they can help...
