Hello list, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have a nearly new machine which is already showing signs of hardware |
| 4 |
failure. I'd like to check its memory, for which memtest86+ seems suitable. |
| 5 |
But I can't install it via portage because this is a UEFI machine and so its |
| 6 |
boot partition is vfat; the install phase fails because symbolic links can't |
| 7 |
be done. |
| 8 |
|

I downloaded an ISO image from http://www.memtest.org/#downiso and used |
| 10 |
unetbootin to write it to the USB. It won't boot. I then tried dd but got |
| 11 |
the same result. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
What's the recommended way to put a bootable memtest86+ image, or |
| 14 |
equivalent, on a USB stick? |
