Name : memtest86+ Product : Fedora 16 Version : 4.20 Release : 4.fc16 URL : http://www.memtest.org Summary : Stand-alone memory tester for x86 and x86-64 computers Description : Memtest86+ is a thorough stand-alone memory test for x86 and x86-64 architecture computers. BIOS based memory tests are only a quick check and often miss many of the failures that are detected by Memtest86+. The ELF version should be used for booting from grub, and avoids the following errors: "Error 7: Loading below 1MB is not supported" "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format" "Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory" The script '/usr/sbin/memtest-setup' can be run (as root) to add the memtest86+ entry to your GRUB boot menu. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update uses ELF memtest86+ with grub2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Dec 7 2011 Jaroslav Škarvada <[email protected]> - 4.20-4 - Used ELF format with grub2 * Wed Dec 7 2011 Jaroslav Škarvada <[email protected]> - 4.20-3 - Renamed 20_memtest to 20_memtest86+ - Fixed ghost handling, 20_memtest86+ is properly removed now * Mon Dec 5 2011 Jaroslav Škarvada <[email protected]> - 4.20-2 - Added support for grub2, thanks to Michal Ambroz <[email protected]> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #729197 - memtest-setup doesn't understand Grub2 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=729197 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
