Title:
memtest86+ fails on efi systems
Status in memtest86+ package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
memtest86+ fails to load on an amd64 in EFI-mode system using grub-
efi, I do not know if the error also occurs when using grub-pc on
amd64.
Memtest86+ entries are included in the GRUB boot menu. Booting these options results in an error however:
'error: unknown command 'linux16'.'
Changing linux16 to linux results in another error:
'error: zImage doesn't support 32-bit boot.'
(bug #424506)
It seems grub-efi (or maybe actually grub on
amd64(http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#linux16) does
not support linux16.
I have not found a solution. If there is no solution yet, I would
suggest not adding the Memtest86+ boot options on amd64 systems (I
believe efi&64 bit support is planned for memtest86+ version 5)
