Hello list, I have a nearly new machine which is already showing signs of hardware failure. I'd like to check its memory, for which memtest86+ seems suitable. But I can't install it via portage because this is a UEFI machine and so its boot partition is vfat; the install phase fails because symbolic links can't be done.
I downloaded an ISO image from http://www.memtest.org/#downiso and used unetbootin to write it to the USB. It won't boot. I then tried dd but got the same result. What's the recommended way to put a bootable memtest86+ image, or equivalent, on a USB stick? -- Regards Peter
