I have memtest included with my g4l project. It uses a kernel that is built from the source code of kernel.org to include most disk and network support to handle various hardware. With latest version, currently have done 36 builds, that are mostly just the changes in kernels. Last iso has 5 kernel in the syslinux config file. The option D is the default one, but project has always had various kernels to support hardware?? MENU LABEL ^A: bz5x4.129 x86 06-30-2021 MENU LABEL ^B: bz5x10.47 x86 06-30-2021 MENU LABEL ^C: bz5x11.22 x86 05-19-2021 MENU LABEL ^D: bz5x12.14 x86 06-30-2021 MENU LABEL ^K: bz5x13 x86 06-27-2021 MENU LABEL ^M: memtest86+-5.01 MENU LABEL ^Z: Hardware Detection Tool 0.5.2 Have a lite version that just includes the default kernel and memtest. Latest kernel is 9706528 Jul 1 14:47 bz5x12.14 Latest ramdisk 27922605 Jul 1 14:50 ramdisk.lzma Latest ISO 82837504 Jul 1 14:50 g4l-v0.60alpha36-fc33.iso That has the 5 kernel files The lite version with just one kernel is 38347527 Jul 1 14:53 g4l-lite-fc33.zip with just the default kernel and memtest. It can be put on a flash with the included grub4dos Have actually looked at trying to use the fedora live cd, but that is like a 2G file. It has most of the support files, but would require adding a number of little things and the primary script?? Haven't actual tested it. Project uses busybox for much of the support, but this would be using Fedora files completely. Recently had a machine with the EFI setup, and wanted to run memtest on it, and couldn't. Ended up using my g4l boot flash and just had to change bios to allow the regular bios boot, but don't know if uses want to do that? > > Wondering if there might be information or > > someone might know of a list or page? > > The devel list would probably be a better place to ask.
