Fedora's memtest option doesn't work, but found something that seems to??

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've noticed for a while running memtest from grub2 menu just gives a blue screen and locks machine.

Had a similar issue running it from grub4dos, but found running syslinux memdisk and then running program worked, but exact same thing didn't work with grub2??
So, just tried using the iso versus the memtest.img extracted from it, and that comes up.

Manually modifed the grub.cfg by coping section that Fedora creates and making changes??
Have seen messages saying it was broken, but never found any fixes. So, not sure some can tell why? or if this would be useful to others to try??
