Hello,
This is my first post to this list.
After searching through the archives and google searches I could not find a solution
for my memtest problem.
In previous versions of pxelinux/gpxelinux (4.04 and 4.06) I could successfully
start the memtest utility. But using pxelinux/gpxelinux versions 5.01 and 5.02 the
memtest utility does not boot and I get an error message:
boot:
Loading memtest420... ok
Booting kernel failed: Bad file number
(The same error message for memtest versions 1.55 and 4.00)
I am wondering if somebody else is having the same problem or do I make some obvious mistake?
I currently have a workaround, but that won't work with hdt.c32
LABEL Memtest
MENU LABEL Mem^test86
MENU INDENT 2
KERNEL memdisk
INITRD utils/memtest86+-4.20.iso
APPEND raw iso
TEXT HELP
Memtest86 v4.20
ENDTEXT
Below a stripped down version of our setup just to load memtest.
Thanks,
Wim.
