Public bug reported: memtest-1.70 in the current 8.04LTS Hardy Heron doesn't support and/or recognise quite a few chipsets and processors which have been around for some time (1-2 years?), such as the Intel 965.
As we rely on this tool to establish if we can trust the platform or not (especially if a kernel crash looks dubious), it is in our interest to use the most mature version: http://www.memtest.org/#change I have found the SPD display in v2.0 to be particularly useful to identify which serial # DIMM is faulty, so it is a boon. The impact of updating this is near-zero, as it doesn't run on a live system, and it's a tiny package. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- memtest doesn't support current platforms/processors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238990 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
