RE: [bug #3404] Error 28 on loading memtest.bin (86k) with asus nforcemotherboard

[Treutwein Bernhard]

Hello,

just checked that bug and I have two comments:

1. If ist working on some chipsets/MBs then it
   might not be the fault of Grub

2. If

> Copy memtest.bin to a floppy disk:
> dd if=/boot/memtest86/memtest.bin of=/dev/fd0
> Boot with the floppy.

this works, please try:

chainloader (dev,part)/boot/memtest86/memtest.bin

This should work ...

regards
