This fault also occurs for me with Ubuntu 20.04. I have 3 x 4G sticks. Any single stick in any slot and the Ubuntu-bundled memtest runs fine. More than one stick will result in the Ubuntu-bundled memtest freezing (at exactly the same point each time). The memory is good, as determined by Memtest86+ 5.31b booting from a CD.

If developers don't have time to fix it for 20.04, and I realise they are volunteers working in their spare time, then IMHO it would be better to remove it altogether. Otherwise, the faulty version causes people to waste a lot of time thinking they have bad memory, many of them never realising the memory is good and possibly throwing it away. I know it would have saved me a lot of time today if this faulty version hadn't been bundled with 20.04.
