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

[Loïc Minier]

I tested this on a problematic machine (triggering the relocation error)
with an Award BIOS from a Gigabyte P55A-UD3 motherboard with 4x2048MiB
of RAM and the memory was correctly detected and the memtest run
started; thanks for working on this!

I was using the multiboot version previously, which ISTR used to help,
but it's been broken for a couple of releases.

Title:
  error: too small lower memory (0x99100 > 0x98400)

Status in “memtest86+” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “memtest86+” package in Debian:
  Confirmed

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+)
