Or maybe 2 packages, one for Legacy and one for UEFI. When Fedora eventually drops support for Legacy the first package would go away. All my machines are Legacy and I'd love to have it working again.
Did a test. Backed up the /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ and replaced it with this...
# !/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the # menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change # the 'exec tail' line above. menuentry 'Memtest Legacy' { echo 'Loading memtest 6.01 for BIOS BOOT SYSTEM' linux /memtest.leg } menuentry 'Memtest UEFI' { echo 'Loading memtest 6.01 for UEFI BOOT SYSTEM' linux /memtest.uefi }
Put the memtest files copied from the memtest.org's grub's iso file. leg for /boot an uefi from /EFI/BOOT. both have name memtest, so renamed them to match. put them in /boot directory and used grub2-mkconfig to create grub.cfg. Seems to work, but one needs to select the correct one. Sure a more complex setup could be done. Only have one UEFI machine, so don't know if it would work with all setups.
To update my machines created a file. 57636 Jan 16 00:24 memtest6.01.xz that contains
416 Jan 16 00:24 20_memtest86+ 1071 Jan 16 00:13 Memtest6.01-Readme 144344 Dec 30 17:00 memtest.leg 144384 Dec 30 17:00 memtest.uefi 294 Jan 16 00:23 setupmemtest6.01.sh
