Bug Description

Binary package hint: memtest86+

Current ubuntu version of memtest86+ - 4.10 - doesn't work with my SandyBridge ASUS P8 H67-M motheboard, and most probably with other SandyBridge machines.

Upstream version 4.20 is availabile, and it implements proper SandyBridge support. I suggest updating ubuntu package to include that as soon as possible.

This bug was fixed in the package memtest86+ - 4.20-1ubuntu1

---------------
memtest86+ (4.20-1ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian (LP: #772252). Remaining changes:
    - Only run update-grub in the postrm on remove/purge.
    - Drop the multiboot image from the GRUB menu for now, since it's
      experimental and has known problems detecting all memory on some
      systems at the moment.

memtest86+ (4.20-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * Acknowledge NMU.
  * Adjust makeiso.sh to call genisoimage.
  * Produce a memtest86+.iso using makeiso.sh and ship it in
    /usr/lib/memtest86+/. Add build-dep on genisoimage.
  * Drop the old make-memtest86+-boot-floppy script, which was dependant
    on grub-legacy, and whose usefulness is much lower now that we ship an
    iso. Closes: #591578.
  * Advertise multiboot as experimental in README.Debian.
