      @robertkwild I am not sure memtest is working on UEFI systems: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8153/memtest-fails-from-uefi-menu

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        Is there an alternative memtest

          @sebastian-roth I was able to get memtest86 9.4 working ( UEFI ) by creating a floppy image ( or altering an existing one ), creating the path EFI/BOOT and copying the BOOTX64.efi file for it in there. Then add a menu item for

          sanboot http://${fog-ip}/fog/memtest86.img
          

          This works with the limitation that you can only run 4 passes ( limitation of 9.4 free ). I’m sure there are other ways, but this circumvents the “PXE Boot is not supported in this version of MemTest86” error.

            @mikec Nice find.

            This works with the limitation that you can only run 4 passes ( limitation of 9.4 free ).

            What do you mean by “4 passes”?

            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

              @sebastian-roth The old memtest would loop forever. 9.4 “free” will stop automatically after 4 passes ( so you can’t leave it running overnight for a longer stress test ).
