Package: memtest86+
Version: 4.20-1.1
Followup-For: Bug #612371
Dear Maintainer,
I added two more variables in /etc/default/grub for being able to
enabling/disabling the serial and the multiboot menuentry.
Here is what I did:
1.) In /etc/default/grub I added these lines:
GRUB_MEMTEST_ENABLE_SERIAL=false
GRUB_MEMTEST_ENABLE_MULTIBOOT=false
2.) In /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig I added these variables to the list of exportet
variables:
at line 280:
GRUB_MEMTEST_SERIAL_PARAMS \
GRUB_MEMTEST_ENABLE_SERIAL \
GRUB_MEMTEST_ENABLE_MULTIBOOT
3.) I modified /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+:
Two times:
....
if [ "${GRUB_MEMTEST_ENABLE_SERIAL}" = "true" ]; then
...
fi
....
One time:
if [ "${GRUB_MEMTEST_ENABLE_MULTIBOOT}" = "true" ]; then
...
fi
I'm not sure if it's the best solution, but at least it works...
See my attached patch-files.
