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 use memory to emulate a floppy I was not using this memory to
be tested.
May be is not the way, but on my old disks memtest was using just a label and
kernel otion for te binary image, and I just replace the old memtest with the
new one to use the image on pxeboot and my rescue CDs.
Any try?
:)
