Project moved to https://github.com/memtest86plus/memtest86plus that it is in repo as memtest86+ and memtest86+-efi, so I could not find it when searching pcmemtest. With this version I could not use the keyboard I think that it should be removed from the AUR.

memtest86+ works fine on uefi.

I updated the PKGBUILD so this is more like the memtest86+ package. I moved the binaries to /boot/pcmemtest/ and added a config script to /etc/grub.d/ so that pcmemtest automatically gets added to the grub menu. I made a gist with my changes

Great to see this on the AUR! This is the only open source memory tester I can find that boots on UEFI.

The alternatives:

  • memtest86 is closed source.
  • memtest86+ is a 16 bit app and can't boot on UEFI.
  • linux has a builtin memtest, but the default kernel on Arch does not include it.
