Just an additional data point, I ran this test (using Mike's script in a loop) on other architectures:
amd64 bare metal: 30 times 4.4.0, no failures amd64 virtual machine: 30 times, 4.4.0, no failures s390 4GB RAM: 40 times on both 4.4.0-31 and 4.7.0, no failures s390 20GB RAM: 40 times on both 4.4.0-31 and 4.7.0, no failures. I'm still running on arm64 and waiting on final results. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573062 Title: memory_stress_ng failing for Power architecture for 16.04 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in linux source package in Yakkety: In Progress Bug description: memory_stress_ng, as part of server certification is failing for IBM Power S812LC(TN71-BP012) in bare metal mode. Failing in this case is defined by the test locking up the server in an unrecoverable state which only a reboot will fix. I will be attaching screen and kern logs for the failures and a successful run on 14.04 on the same server.
