--- Begin Message ---Package: memtest86+ Version: 2.01-1.1 Severity: normal I run an installation with Grub2. The interesting lines in the script, to gererate the memtest86+ entry in grub.conf, look like this: if test -e /boot/memtest86+.bin ; then echo "Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin" >&2 cat << EOF menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { linux ${GRUB_DRIVE_BOOT}/memtest86+.bin } EOF But the variable GRUB_DRIVE_BOOT is not defined anywhere in my system (nor i believe in some elses system), which brings this output in /boot/grub/grub.conf: linux /memtest86+.bin which doesn't work in my case. The solution to make it work for me is changing /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ like this: diff --git a/grub.d/20_memtest86+ b/grub.d/20_memtest86+ index 33677de..0740f60 100755 --- a/grub.d/20_memtest86+ +++ b/grub.d/20_memtest86+ @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ if test -e /boot/memtest86+.bin ; then echo "Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin" >&2 cat << EOF menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { - linux ${GRUB_DRIVE_BOOT}/memtest86+.bin + linux /boot/memtest86+.bin } EOF fi But I assume that this is not a solution for people who have a seperate boot partition. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash memtest86+ depends on no packages. memtest86+ recommends no packages.
