memtest86+ adds a nice little script for adding it to the grub config. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20030926 Description of problem: > rpm -ql memtest86-3.0-1 /usr/lib/memtest86/memtest86 /usr/share/doc/memtest86-3.0 /usr/share/doc/memtest86-3.0/README The executable should go into /boot, not /usr. If / or /boot is a separate filesystem, the above can't be added to grub without specifying a different partition just for the memtest section. Also, maybe a %post that does an auto-magic grub entry like the kernels do would be nice (although grubby might have to be taught about it.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): memtest86-3.0-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install memtest86 rpm with / or /boot being separate 2. try to use :) Additional info:
