Topic

An updated memtest86+ package that fixes one bug and adds an enhancement is now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The memtest86+ package contains an advanced memory diagnostic tool for x86,
AMD64 and Intel 64 computers. BIOS-based memory tests are only a quick check and
often miss many of the failures that are detected by memtest86+.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • The memtest86+ tool failed to start on AMD64 and Intel 64 computers with the

"--type=netbsd /elf-memtest86+-4.00" kernel parameter, and the "Error 13:
Invalid or unsupported executable format" error message was given. This option
now works as expected, and no error message is displayed. (BZ#607006)

This update adds the following enhancement:

  • With this update, memtest86+ supports the latest Intel processors, including

those based on the Intel Xeon Processor E56XX, L56XX, W36XX and X56XX families,
and the Intel Xeon Processor E7 family. (BZ#640731)

Users of memtest86+ are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
this bug and adds this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
