Did a test.
Backed up the /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ and replaced it with this...
# !/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry 'Memtest Legacy' {
echo 'Loading memtest 6.01 for BIOS BOOT SYSTEM'
linux /memtest.leg
}
menuentry 'Memtest UEFI' {
echo 'Loading memtest 6.01 for UEFI BOOT SYSTEM'
linux /memtest.uefi
}
Put the memtest files copied from the memtest.org's grub's iso file. leg for /boot
an uefi from /EFI/BOOT.
both have name memtest, so renamed them to match.
put them in /boot directory and used grub2-mkconfig to create grub.cfg. Seems
to work, but one needs to select the correct one. Sure a more complex setup
could be done. Only have one UEFI machine, so don't know if it would work with
all setups.
To update my machines created a file.
