Description Gilles 2005-03-19 05:34:20 UTC

Using the "LiveCD 2004.3", I couldn't run "memtest86".  It seemed to hang
(no output whatsoever), and I had to "reset".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select memtest86 as kernel


Actual Results:  
Hang


Expected Results:  
Starting to test the RAM
