Hi!
I just had the issue that the memtest86+ on my grml usb stick always froze during testing. I had this issue now several times with newer hardware and it is certainly a problem with old memtest86+. My stick had 2021.07 on it and I replaced it by 2022.11 now. The release notes say that apparently memtest86+ v6 should be integrated, but it still boots v5.01? To check the memory now, I grabbed another stick and dd'ed the memtest image for v6.2 - which works perfectly and the memtest is currently running.
I just wondered if grml 2022.11 should ship memtest86+ v6 but still ships 5.01 by mistake or if this is a mistake in the documentation (or perhaps means something different)?
Best, Sebastian
