Earlier discussion: https://www.mail-archive.com/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg169800.html Current memtest86+ 5.x requires non-UEFI, which makes it increasingly irrelevant to modern hardware. memtest86 forked into a proprietary product some time ago. However there is hope because upstream memtest86+ 6.00 is (a) open source and (b) seems to work despite the large warnings on the website: https://memtest.org/ Note this new version is derived from pcmemtest mentioned in the thread above which is only indirectly derived from memtest86+ 5.x and removes some features. So my question is are we planning to move to v6.00 in future? I did attempt to build a Fedora RPM, but it basically involves removing large sections of the existing RPM (eg. the downstream script we add seems unnecessary now and the downstream README would need to be completely rewritten). It's probably only necessary to have memtest.efi be installed as /boot/memtest.efi and although it won't appear automatically in the grub menu, it can be accessed by a trivial two line command.
