Description Durval Menezes 2006-09-11 06:26:44 UTC 
Image: install-x86-minimal-2006.1.iso (and certainly others)

The included memtest86+ is too old:
      Memtest86+ v1.30

The newest Memtest86+ is v1.65 (see http://www.memtest.org/) works very well, includes support for a number of new chipsets and also fixes many bugs.

The fix is simply a case of replacing the file "/isolinux/memtest86"
inside the ISO with the result of downloading and uncompressing http://www.memtest.org/download/1.65/memtest86+-1.65.bin.gz

Hope to have been of help,
Best regards,
