@Xorg
the option doesn't apear for me:
"[studio@bahiahost ~]$ memtest86-efi Usage: memtest86-efi ACTION
Available ACTION: -i, --install Install MemTest86 in ESP -u, --update Update an existing installation of MemTest86 -r, --remove Remove MemTest86 from ESP -s, --status Print and return status -h, --help Print this help and exit -a, --about Print informations about memtest86-efi and exit "
@capoeira: run the memtest86-efi command and follow instructions. You need to choose 3: Add a boot entry for GRUB2 menu in your case.
So how can I add this to Grub?
@nTia89: Ok, it is done.
Hi, you can update the URL field to use HTTPS protocol
As you probably know, the <https://www.memtest86.com/downloads/memtest86-usb.zip> URL is likely to cause problems, like this error:
==> Validating source files with sha512sums...
memtest86-efi-8.2.zip ... FAILED
To avoid this problem, I prefer to reupload memtest86-usb.zip archive somewhere else, where this kind of breakage will not appear.
I can't upload this archive on AUR directly (archive is 8 MB but AUR accepts 250 KiB maximum), so I decide to put this archive on my Git repository to avoid future breakages.
I hope it suits you.

Did it break once again?
@maxbla: Yes, it is due an upstream update. Fixed, thanks.
Package doesn't build. Presumably upstream shipped an update. I made it work in the meantime with makepkg --skipchecksums -si

@Sven: memtest86+ and memtest86-efi are not the same things.
The memtest86-efi script can produce a /etc/grub.d/86_memtest file (option 2: "Add a boot entry for GRUB2 menu").
So why does this one skip that?
memtest86+ is put under /boot and is not an EFI application.
memtest86-efi is put under $esp/EFI/memtest86/, where $esp is a variable that cannot be determined in a programmatic way (i.e. when you use bind).
This package is unofficial and produced by AUR community. If you have ideas to improve this package, feel free to share them with us.
