Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
When I select memtest86+ on the grub menu in a fresh install of UNR, it simply
says "Error. File not found".
Ubuntu, however, starts okay.
Let me add what goes wrong:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ###
menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" {
linux16 /memtest86+.bin
}
menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)" {
linux16 /memtest86+.bin console=ttyS0,115200n8
}
### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ###
It is obvious, isn't it? There is no definition of root.
And actually, this solves the problem:
set root=(hd0,1)
linux16 /memtest86+.bin
Maybe you want to come up with an update to grub that adds this?
This could be the reason why it happens here:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 6.5G 3.3G 2.9G 54% /
udev 496M 272K 496M 1% /dev
