Public bug reported:
Hi,
I'm trying to add memtest to my Grub config, and searched a while. Many
questions about this "problem" are posted on stack exchange but I didn't
quickly found the solution. So I stated to trace and finally found the origin
of my problem: I was trying to install FOSS Memtest86 version on a Grub that is
launched on EFI mode.
But to find this problem I had to add debug on /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ and I
here's what really miss there, IMHO:
diff --git debian/grub debian/grub
index 56ca510..11afbe5 100644
--- debian/grub
+++ debian/grub
@@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ fi
# We need 16-bit boot, which isn't available on EFI.
if [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ]; then
+ echo "Memtest86+ needs a 16-bit boot, that is not available on EFI,
exiting." >&2
exit 0
fi
(by the way I don't understood how to submit a PR; why Ubuntu isn't
using Gitlab ?!!; so here's the "patch"; super simple so can be put
here)
Thanks
