[Bug 1876157] [NEW] memtest86+ hang on GA-P35-DS3R with X5470 and 6 GB

[Boris Gjenero]

Public bug reported:

Yesterday I booted into Ubuntu's memtest86+. I wasn't experiencing or
expecting problems, and only wanted to make sure memory is okay after I
had to remove modules to take the PSU out and put it back in. I ran it
twice, and both times it hung at exactly 79% in the first test. Even
fail safe mode hung exactly at that point.

Then I booted with the floppy image from memtest86+-4.10.floppy.zip and
it worked fine.

Today I installed memtest86+_5.01-3ubuntu2_amd64.deb from Ubuntu 19.10
and that worked fine too.

The failing version is 5.01-3.1ubuntu1.

Memory configuration is 2 * 2 GB (F2-6400CL5-2GBPQ) and 2 * 1 GB
(OCZ2G8001G) working in dual channel mode. CPU is Harpertown Xeon X5470
running at stock speed (3.33 GHz).
