reassign -1 memtest86
thanks
Hi,
In the scripts supplied with memtest86+ and memtest86 for
/etc/grub.d, there are actually three distinct problems to be found:
1. They source the deprecated update-grub_lib instead of
grub-mkconfig_lib, which generates a warning when update-grub is run
(see #522345 and #523114).
2. They use the linux command, which fails to load memtest86+ and
memtest86; instead, the linux16 command is needed (see #539907).
3. They fail to work correctly when /boot is a separate partition
from /.
As the reporter mentions, for (1) and (2) there is a patch in
#539907 that addresses them. However, for memtest86+/memtest86 to work
correctly in his system, (3) must be addressed too. I'm attaching
patches for the /etc/grub.d files that fix all three problems (they
incorporate the fixes of the aforementioned patch and also fix the
additional problem).
Thanks,
Vasilis
