When running `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`, I expect it to produce a GRUB config that includes the currently installed kernels and memtest as selectable items in the GRUB menu. However, the file /etc/grub.d/39_memtest86+ is completely ill suited for such purpose. By studying the files produced by installing =sys-apps/memtest86+-6.20-r1[boot,uefi64], I can see that the main binary is installed in /boot/memtest86plus/memtest.efi64 as expected. Therefore, the file /etc/grub.d/39_memtest86+ makes wrong assumptions at the start by looking for the realmode memtest binary (line 5) and knetbsd memtest binary (line 7). Because of this, what ends up in /boot/grub/grub.cfg looks like this, when `grub-mkconfig` goes over this section: ``` ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/39_memtest86+ ### ### END /etc/grub.d/39_memtest86+ ### ``` So, installing with [boot,uefi64], should get us a GRUB directive that will correctly add memtest86's UEFI binary to the GRUB menu. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have installed grub[grub_platforms_efi-64] and memtest86+[boot,uefi64] 2. Run `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` 3. Inspect file /boot/grub/grub.cfg after line "### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/39_memtest86+ ###" Actual Results: Memtest is not added to the GRUB config Expected Results: Memtest should be added to the GRUB config
Created attachment 884951 [details] memtest's GRUB directives This is the file described in the bug report. This file should exist, but its contents should be adjusted to the target we want to install memtest for.
Resolved. I needed to run dispatch-conf. Sorry.
