Dear Colleagues, memtest86 does not work any more after upgrading PXELINUX to 6.01. When trying to boot, I get the following message: PXELINUX 6.01 2013-07-04 Copyright (C) 1994-2013 H.

...g to get PIRT running on an SBC which has no CD-ROM drive. (an 8 MB ISO which demo's RTAI - RealTime Application Interface, on linux patched with Adeos) (BTW, PIRT uses isolinux) anyway, Im trying to use pxelinux to chainload / memdisk / mboot it, Im having no success. Ive also tried booting memtest86, which I can boot on my laptop using grub, ie title memtest root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/memtest86.img boot but Im unable to morph it into a form that works for pxelinux. cpldr.bin: x86 boot sector memtest86+-1.26: x86 boot sector Ive taken a...

Hello list, any try the new memtest86 v3.2 with isolinux 3.11 cd and pxeboot? How is the proper way to chainload memtest86 I was tried: label memtest kernel memtest.bin but, nothing happens just a weird hang (my older versions of memtest hangs too). Anyway chainloading in a floppy image with memdisk on CD or pxeboot was fine but if...

I've just spent at least half an hour swapping files, downloading things and stuffing around with memtest86 and memtest86+. I can't get either to start from pxelinux. Currently I have "memtest86" as the filename, and i'm trying to load it direct (not trying to use memdisk or anything). This just results in a near instant reboot. Am I doing something wrong? I can't find much info...

Hi! At first thanks for your great work! I started to make multiboot CDs 1,5 years ago, with Bart Lagerweij 's utils. I have a problem with the memtest86 floppy image, made by the authors in the .zip file, downloadable from it's homepage, when I use diskemu. Some days ago I found on Bart's page a new method to select boot images on CD with syslinux/isolinux/memdisk. I thought this is my solution! With LiLo I could start the memtest86 image f...

I'm building a custom bootdisk that I would like to boot linux or boot memtest86 (www.memtest86.com). And I'm running into some difficulties with recent versions of syslinux. All I'm doing is making a new label in syslinux.cfg called memtest and giving it kernel memtest.bin. This has worked on and off for several recent versions of memtest. It worked in 1.67, broke i...

I've been trying to figure out how to netboot memtest86 since terminals don't have local drives and I don't want to have to fish for disks with the memtest program on them for my machines that do. I'm in an etherboot environment where I can't figure out how to create a network tagged image of memtest86. Evidently I can use pxe somehow...

Hi guys! I tried to boot memtest86+ v4.2 (renamed memtest.bin to memtest), and i have issues to boot it with pxelinux 5.x and greater.Pxelinux 4.06 works fine both memtest 4.1 and 4.2. With version 6.00 no error message caught, only writes out dots. Any keypress does a reboot.With version 5.01 the error message is the follow:Loading...

The bug is entirely dependent upon the memory map layout of a machine. The layouts vary widely, even between machines from the same vendor. -- Matt Fleming, Intel Open Source Technology Center

Hi! I am currently trying upgrade my bios pxe server with additional uefi support. My current using memtest86+ doesn't seem to support uefi, so I would have to use memtest86, as it supports this. But the memtest86 file itself is an *.efi file. When booting this one directly without syslinux, its working. But I want to launch it later from the syslinux menu. Can I chainload somehow another *.efi loader...

...which can't take a lot of load. I have 4 XEN VPS's on there, which doesn't consume more than 4GBM RAM at this stage. Yet, the machine sky rockets at some times. I've moved the XEN VPS's to another server, with 4GM RAM, and it doesn't cause the same problems. So, apart from memtest86 how else can I stress test the server to find out what the problem is? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

Hello, I'm trying to pass the serial port options to memtest86+ using Syslinux 5.01 but is not working. Debugging the memtest86+, the check at main.cpp function static void parse_command_line(void) if (*OLD_CL_MAGIC_ADDR != OLD_CL_MAGIC) return; Is being evaluated to true. What should I do? There is a way to instruct memtest to use the &quot...

Deal developers, I'd like to follow the thread http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux/2013-April/019761.html but change the subject to 'pxelinux 5.10 and memtest86+ 4.20' and provide more test cases. The pxelinux before version 5, e.g. version 4.06, worked very well with memtest86+ 4.20, all my PXE client machines, including VMWare workstation 9, VirtualBox 4.2, and all the real machines here, like Lenovo Thinkpad t410. However, after changing to pxe...
