I don't think this points to a real memory error. If you look at the output of a failed memory_test run, you'll notice it claims threaded_memtest exited with error code 127:
System Memory: 2003 MB Free Memory: 1791 MB Swap Memory: 16658 MB i686 arch, Limiting Process Memory: 1024 Testing memory with 2 processes Running threaded memory test: Started: process 0 pid 2187: /home/ubuntu/checkbox/scripts/threaded_memtest -qpv -m1024m -t60 Started: process 1 pid 2188: /home/ubuntu/checkbox/scripts/threaded_memtest -qpv -m1024m -t60 Error: process 0 pid 2187 retuned 127 process 0 pid 2187 returned success Error: process 1 pid 2188 retuned 127 process 1 pid 2188 returned success Multi-process, threaded memory Test FAILED If you look at the source code (threaded_memset.c), you will not find a way for it to ever exit with that code (unless the rv variable in main() is being clobbered). I think the error is in run_processes procedure in scripts/memory_test (a python script). A way to verify this is to run threaded_memtest manually. I've attached a test script -- you may have to edit the TMT variable at the top of the script -- and I suspect that the program will never fail and never exit with a 127 error code. You can find the results of the tests in /tmp/tmt.1 and /tmp/tmt.2 ** Attachment added: "threaded_mem_test.sh" https://bugs.launchpad.net/checkbox/+bug/823419/+attachment/2376302/+files/threaded_mem_test.sh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/823419 Title: [Latitude 2120] Memory test fails on Alpha 3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/checkbox/+bug/823419/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
