Created attachment 364565 [details] Patch to fix this bug. Description of problem: memtest-setup does not work properly, if /boot is not a separate partition. Most of my systems does not use /boot and leave it on / (root filesystem). Solution and patch attached. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): memtest86+-2.11-9.fc11.i586 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install system without /boot 2. yum install memtest86+ 3. memtest-setup 4. try to boot memtest Actual results: Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format Press any key to continue... Expected results: running memtest86+ Additional info: Here is one line shell debug output from memtest-setup: + sed -i '-es,kernel /elf-memtest86+,kernel --type=netbsd /elf-memtest86+,' /boot/grub/grub.conf But I have no /elf-memtest86+*, only /boot/elf-memtest86+-2.11 . This change should fix it: - sed -i -e"s,kernel /$ENAME,kernel --type=netbsd /$ENAME," /boot/grub/grub.conf + sed -i -e"s,kernel \(/boot\)\?/$ENAME,kernel --type=netbsd \1/$ENAME," /boot/grub/grub.conf
Not seeing any regression running on a system that does have a separate /boot, so I see no reason not to commit it. Committed to memtest86+-4.00-2, will build for rawhide and F12 updates-testing.
