I was building a new test system described in my other bug over at
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=773565

smolts is:
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_73920daf-1fba-42ec-be09-adb113ce053d

and I first thought I had serious hardware trouble as the memtest test number 7 resulted in endless errors. Changing ram modules, using only single modules or completely different ones for example different in speed and latencies always resulted in the same test number 7 failing seriously

I was using the memtest+ 4.20 from the 12.2/rc1/x86 image written to a usb key / usb stick and booted from that stick on that uefi system from above.

Eventually I used my older 12.1/x86 dvd iso booting via dvd rom drive and dvd rom, also having memtest+ version 4.20 and this now runs flawlessly on this same uefi machine, same configuration, only booting the memtest entry from the initial boot menu at pre-installation.

This machine has uefi, but maybe there is a problem with booting the later generation iso image from usb keys / usb sticks in general at suse or maybe this is slightly a different memtest+ 4.20 and not really identical on 12.1 and 12.2 iso images?

I am not really sure what to make of this behavior and where to pinpoint the source for this bug.
