Package: memtest86
Version: 3.4-2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
File: /usr/bin/make-memtest86-boot-floppy
This is just a report of the same problems in memtest86 as those
described in bug reports #412255 and #451050 for memtest86+.
Specifically, the script make-memtest86-boot-floppy looks for grub in
/sbin when it really is in /usr/sbin and for the GRUB boot images in
/lib/grub instead of /usr/lib/grub. Also, on the amd64 architecture
the script will look for the boot images in the non-existent i386-pc
subdirectory in the latter directory instead of the x86_64-pc
subdirectory. I've attached a simple patch which is supposed to fix
this.
