Memtest86 is a thorough, stand-alone memory test for x86 architecture
|
|
computers. BIOS based memory tests are a quick, cursory check and
|
|
often miss many of the failures that are detected by Memtest86.
|
|
|
|
This package installs a bootable image to /boot/memtest86.bin
|
|
which is similar to the kernel images in the same directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
LILO users: Append this to your /etc/lilo.conf:
|
|
|
|
image = /boot/memtest86.bin
|
|
label = memtest86
|
|
|
|
Then run `/sbin/lilo` to update the boot loader.
|
|
Don't forget to re-run `/sbin/lilo` if you upgrade this package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
GRUB Legacy users: Append something like this to your
|
|
/boot/grub/menu.lst:
|
|
|
|
title memtest86
|
|
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/memtest86.bin
|
|
|
|
|
|
GRUB 2 users: Auto-detected by the /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86 script.
|
|
Run `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` to update the boot menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
See /usr/doc/memtest86-$VERSION/README for more info.
