Package: extlinux
Version: 3:6.03~pre1+dfsg-4
Followup-For: Bug #750851
So I looked more into this and the memtest binaries end in .bin but
memdisk requires .img suffix. Easily fixable with a symlink. Perhaps a
memtest extlinux.d entry could create them?
Anyway, even with a symlink the memtests do not boot.
You need something like the following patch because memdisk relies on
_BOOT_DIRECTORY which is local to 0010-linux.
Thanks
Michal
