Replaced with a proper brand (GEiL); works a charm now.
Don't see a memtest option on grub, though I've installed memtest86+. Evidently I have to edit the grub configuration, or use its c or e options when booting, but I'm completely clueless on this. lilo is currently refusing to work, details have just been posted in a thread on debian-user. Something about trying to read from a nonexistent device. The floppy installation script for memtest86+ fails: ----- * Creating msdos file system 1440+0 records in 1440+0 records out 1474560 bytes (1.5 MB) copied, 0.002501 seconds, 590 MB/s * Installing GRUB files Copying menu.lst /lib/grub/i386-pc/*: No such file or directory ----- Could it be that it hasn't been updated for AMD64? There's an /lib/grub/x86-64-pc directory. Should I make the obvious change in teh script?
