Memtest86 runs as a standard payload for LinxBIOS we have used it a
lot. Its one of the milestones in bringing up a new port. Its just
about the best there is.
Perhaps we could make a tweak to kexec so it could load memtest?

I can tell you that a BIG company has told me that the only meaningful
diagnostics they run on their big machines run under ... linux. They
don't trust bios diags at all. Just a data point: you can really test a

nodes much more complex than OLPC.
