I discovered the issue with Memtest86+ stuck on my Thinkpad x230 on the very first tests. Always on the same point, 52%. Every release since 4.8 works this way, coreboot 4.7 works fine. Is this a known bug?
Thank you for your report. I cannot remember hearing/reading about that. Your report is lacking some details, so it’s unclear if it’s a regression in Memtest86+ or coreboot. It’d be great if you could answer the questions below.
1. How do you build the Memtest86+ payload? 2. What version do you choose? I believe there is *Stable* and *Master*? 3. How do you start the Memtest86+ payload? I assume you have it as secondary payload, and select it from some primary payload (`fallback/payload` in CBFS)? Which one do you use? 4. Payloads are actually interchangeable between coreboot versions. If you add the Memtest86+ payload, which works with coreboot 4.7 to coreboot master, does it still work?
Something like:
$ build/cbfstool path/to/coreboot-v4.7.rom extract -n img/memtest -f memtest-v4.7
And then for the master:
$ build/cbfstool path/to/coreboot-master.rom add-payload -n img/mtest-v4.7 -f memtest-v4.7 -c lzma
That way, we can figure out if it’s a regression in coreboot or Memtest86+.
Kind regards,
Paul
