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

[Dave Chiluk]

I just created a ppa for memtest that changes the default memtest to the elf binary , and loads it at 0x100000.  Can the people on this thread please test the ppa available at the below link and report back.

As I do not have any machines that fail, I will not be able to trully
test this fix.  That being said it does not break any of the 5 machines
I have tested it on.

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

Status in “memtest86+” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
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+)
