memtest86+ for Debian
---------------------
Multiple binary images are provided:
- A legacy bios 32bit /boot/memtest86+ia32.bin that uses Linux zImage
boot protocol.
- A legacy bios 64bit /boot/memtest86+x64.bin that uses Linux zImage
boot protocol.
- A 32bit EFI Image /boot/memtest86+ia32.efi
- A 64bit EFI Image /boot/memtest86+x64.efi
These are automatically registered with grub2.
For other bootloaders you'll need to do some manual setup (see
examples/grub-menu.lst for GRUB Legacy), or to make a
boot-floppy, and reboot on this image.
32bit and 64bit ISO Images with EFI and legacy boot support are provided at
/usr/lib/memtest86+/
There are some grub2 variable supported in /etc/default/grub:
- GRUB_DISABLE_MEMTEST: if true don't add any memtest86+ entries
- GRUB_MEMTEST_DISABLE_SERIAL: if true don't add serial entries
- GRUB_MEMTEST_SERIAL_PARAMS: custom serial parameters, default is
ttyS0,115200
Expected argument is like console=ttySx,y with x being the serial
port address (0 = 0x3F8 / 1 = 0x2F8 / 2 = 0x3E8 / 3 = 0x2E8) and y
is an optional baud rate to choose from the following list: 9600,
19200, 38400, 54600, 115200 (default if not specified or invalid),
230400.
