--- Comment #9 from Harald Koenig
The failing memory area is decoded to ROM space on most (all?) x86-compatible systems since 8086. Memtest should skip it by default and the area is marked "reserved" in the BIOS e820 memory map.
what's the difference between 10.3 (working) and 11.0 (throws errors) ? I've compared the source rpms -- they have identical contents (source, diffs): -rw-r--r-- 1 harald users 158966 Sep 22 2007 memtest86+-1.70-40.src.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 harald users 156612 Apr 12 22:53 memtest86+-1.70-68.src.rpm so it might be (a) the compiler etc. or (b) some differnece in system/memory setup from grub ?!? one note about the displayed addresses: somehow the decimal addresses don't match the hex address in my case. it looks like this: 0x000FFXXX 0.9 MB 0x000F8XXX 0.5 MB 0x000F3XXX 0.1 MB 0x000F1XXX 0.0 MB 0x000EFXXX 0.9 MB 0x000E3XXX 0.1 MB 0x000E1XXX 0.0 MB 0x000DEXXX 0,9 MB etc. so the decimal address looks something like ( hex_addr * 16 ) % 1MB. weird... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
