Bug Description
Binary package hint: memtest86+
I have a system (unreleased "big server") where the BIOS reports more than 32 e820 entries to describe the RAM. memtest86+ has a hard-coded limit of 32 e820 entries, so it crashes on boot on this system. Since there are realistic systems that exceed this limit, I think it would be a good idea to apply the patch attached to increase the limit.
I also reported this upstream at http://
