[COPY] [COPY] --- ROCK-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [I] A stand-alone memory siagnostic program for x86 [T] Memtest86 is thorough, stand alone memory test for Intel i386 architecture [T] systems. BIOS based memory tests are only a quick check and often miss [T] failures that are detected by Memtest86. Memtest86 is it's own mini-os and [T] can be booted using lilo, grub or directly from the bios (e.g. if written [T] to the boot sector of a floppy disk). [T] [T] Bad memory or problems on the cpu<->memory bus are common reasons for [T] the well-known 'Signal 11 while compiling the kernel' problem. Please [T] read the Sig11 FAQ for details. [T] [T] The command 'memtest_install' can be used to create a memtest boot floppy.
