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.

@Xorg: it seems it's not mounted, which is quite strange as I've set mount point during installation. Anyway, I'll have to sort it out. Thx for hint!

UnicornDarkness commented on 2020-01-26 19:10 (UTC)

@jakub: No, it is not correct. Are you sure /dev/sda1 is mounted? You can check with mount | grep /dev/sda1.
Otherwise, you can enter the mount point manually.

➜  ~ sudo memtest86-efi --install
This script is unofficial, written by an AUR (Arch User Repository) user. Use it at YOUR OWN RISK.
Press Enter if /dev/sda1 is your ESP partition, else enter device path manually (like /dev/sdXY): 
Press Enter if  is your mount point, else enter mount point manually (like /boot/efi):

As you see script did not show anything as "mount point". Is this correct?

@capoeira: then run memtest86-efi --install...

@Xorg

the option doesn't apear for me:

"[studio@bahiahost ~]$ memtest86-efi Usage: memtest86-efi ACTION

@capoeira: run the memtest86-efi command and follow instructions. You need to choose 3: Add a boot entry for GRUB2 menu in your case.

capoeira commented on 2019-09-10 09:47 (UTC)

So how can I add this to Grub?

@nTia89: Ok, it is done.
