Also encountering this same issue on ubuntu 20.04.2 with HP zbook 17 G2. Memtest loaded through grub freezes. I thought this was because my hardware was faulty. I nearly returned it under warranty.
But downloading memtest86+ 5.01 from memtest.org and loading via syslinux worked fine, and memtest reached 100%. I thought it might be a GRUB issue but copying /boot/memtest86+.bin to my USB drive and loading via syslinux caused the same freeze. So the problem is with the ubuntu build of memtest86+. Memtest86+ is supposed to "completely reliable", according to their website. A diagnostic tool is near useless if it gives false positives, and a freeze of memtest86+ would seem to indicate a severe memory failure. Including this build in ubuntu is doing a disservice to upstream and to users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876157 Title: Memtest86+ in Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't work, switch to Coreboot branch or package new release v5.31b is available since 12/04/2020 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/1876157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
