I googled the memtest issue and found one good hit that said you have to burn the img directly to a floppy. I've done that with dd and it works like a charm, boots right into memtest. It must be some grub related issue that prevents it from booting properly from within grub. maybe grub is occupying the memory it tries to load to. Regardless, I've run memtest for about 13 hours with no errors. another culprit eliminated. A
