Bug#549429: error: too small lower memory (0x99100 > 0x96000)

[Fabio Fantoni]

Hi, this should be solved in 5.31b+dfsg-1 if I remember good.

Can someone tell me if this issue still reproducible on latest version 
of memtest86+ please? (5.31b+dfsg-4)

Bug#549429: error: too small lower memory (0x99100 0x96000)

[Matthias Guentert]

Hi everyone

Same happens here on a Fujitsu-Siemens Celsius M460 system having 8GB
of RAM and running Debian squeeze (stable) on amd64.

There is one small difference, note 95000 instead of 96000:

error: too small lower memory (0x99100  0x95000).

What can I do to test my RAM anyway?

Thanks
