This is what I did after pressing 'c' in the grub menu:
grub> ls
(hd0) (hd0,7) (hd0,6) (hd0,5) (hd0,1)
grub> set root=(hd0,6)
grub> linux16 /boot/memtest86+.bin
[Linux-zImage, setup=0x800, size=0x1ed1c]
grub> boot
<!!!----- COMPUTER HANGS -----!!!>
Now, when I press <Esc> after the computer hangs, the computer
reboots. Why I am saying this is because <Esc> is used for rebooting
the system when the memory test is going on. So, is it that the memory
test is running, but I am not able to see anything on the screen? Is
there a workaround for this bug?
