memtest86+ on 12th gen intel
I had memtest86+ working just fine on a legacy bullseye install.
However, due to age of the CPU, I recently upgraded to 12th gen
i3-12100. As part of the upgrade, I also changed over to UEFI boot. In
addition I had to upgrade kernel to 5.16 using backports to get video
working right. Now memtest86 in the grub menu does not work. Once
selected, grub menu goes away and the background debian 11 canvas shows
up and nothing after that. Memtest never starts.
I removed memtest86+ and reinstalled and that did not help. I looked for
it in backports and as far as I can tell there is no package matching
memtest. Please help. I bought two sticks of RAM and would like to test
it when possible. My search on internet did not bring up any useful
article. May be I do not know how to search for this specific item.
BTW, debian boots and runs as expected. Just that memtest does not start
up. May be, just may be, it starts up, but cannot use iGPU (UHD 730, I
think) to display activities.
Regards
Ramesh
