[Bug 560839] Re: error: too small lower memory (0x99100 > 0x98400)

[Loïc Minier]

A simpler workaround which worked for me but might not work in all cases
or might not be available is to use the "multiboot" entry in the boot
menu; in maverick, you would have to re-enable it in
/etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ and run update-grub.

The reported reason why this entry is commented out in Ubuntu by default is:
    - Drop the multiboot image from the GRUB menu for now, since it's
      experimental and has known problems detecting all memory on some
      systems at the moment.

so double-check that you see all your memory when using the multiboot
version.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: memtest86+

  I tried today the new memtest86+ from Lucid after upgrading from Karmic.
  After choosing memtest i got the error message , whether i tried memtest or memtest console.
  The only possibility was to return to grub.
  Had to return to Karmic cause of problems with lvm2... - so i cannot retry it but the event was reproducible.

  Board: Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H
  RAM: 2x 2x 2048 MB A-Data DDR2 800 MHz

  I also had a lot of entrys in grub2 (2 for Lucid, 1 for Windows 7, 5
  for Karmic, 4 for memtest86+)
