Package: memtest86+ Version: 1.60-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
When I boot the memtest86+ entry, I get a message like this: "Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -lh /boot/ total 26M -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44K 2005-05-16 16:17 config-2.4.27-2-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 59K 2005-06-21 11:22 config-2.6.11-1-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60K 2005-07-21 07:13 config-2.6.12-1-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 55K 2005-05-19 17:01 config-2.6.8-2-k7 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 448 2005-07-22 13:19 grub/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.9M 2005-05-26 09:38 initrd.img-2.4.27-2-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.5M 2005-07-04 19:29 initrd.img-2.6.11-1-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.7M 2005-07-22 13:19 initrd.img-2.6.12-1-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.4M 2005-05-25 15:13 initrd.img-2.6.8-2-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97K 2005-06-28 05:29 memtest86+.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 520K 2005-05-16 16:45 System.map-2.4.27-2-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 819K 2005-06-21 13:07 System.map-2.6.11-1-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 850K 2005-07-21 08:40 System.map-2.6.12-1-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 824K 2005-05-19 17:28 System.map-2.6.8-2-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 844K 2005-05-16 16:45 vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2M 2005-06-21 13:07 vmlinuz-2.6.11-1-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.3M 2005-07-21 08:39 vmlinuz-2.6.12-1-k7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.1M 2005-05-19 17:28 vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-k7 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : AMD Athlon(TM) XP 1700+ stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 1469.921 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow bogomips : 2908.16 I presume the error comes from grub.

## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below
## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs
## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specifiv kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
# kopt=root=/dev/hda5 ro vga=792
## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=(hd0,4)
## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
## alternative=false
# alternative=true
## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
## lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false
## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
## altoptions=(recovery mode) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single
## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
## howmany=7
# howmany=all
## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
## memtest86=false
# memtest86=true
