Public bug reported: Trying to check the memory at newly bought notebook I found a bug in the memtest86+ version 4.20 in ubuntu 12.10, in ubuntu 12.04 it is ok. The bug is reported at least in Fedora and Opensuse. It is assumed that the bug is caused by the gcc-4.7.
It is easily reproducible - select the test #7 in memtest or just wait till it - starting from the 129Mb it will report a lot of errors. I have checked it on three different systems , two of them I use on a daily basis and would note if RAM is really bad. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805813 http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2012-09/msg04386.html ** Affects: memtest86+ (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071209 Title: memtest86 test #7 fails (random pattern error) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/1071209/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
