Motivation for this change
Legacy
memtest86
was broken since 16.09 and we are already usingmemtest86+
from coreboot throughboot.loader.grub.memtest86.enable
.Coreboot marked a more recent commit as stable and called it
5.01 coreboot 002
(we were actually shipping5.01 coreboot 001
up to now). I tested building and running it in a x64 NixOS VM without issue.This memtest is intended for BIOS-systems only.
The newer
memtest86-efi
from PassMark will be available for UEFI systems (see #60967).Things done
