Subject: [PATCH kernel-helper] proxmox-boot: add memtest86 as entry to systemd-boot
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 19:35:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225183621.201783-1-s.ivanov@proxmox.com> (raw)

memtest86+ ships a config-snippet for grub configuration, and is thus
present on installations using grub (although currently not functional
when secure-boot is enabled).

adding an equivalent entry for memtest86+ on systemd-booted systems
seems like an improvment and a step to having similar functionality in
our different boot-loader setups.

Tested by installing proxmox-kernel-helper with this patch and running
proxmox-boot-tool reinit, followed by rebooting into memtest86+ on a
systemd-booted system.

Suggested-by: Daniel Herzig <d.herzig@proxmox.com>

not 100% sure if it's worth adding, but both Daniel and I thought this might
exist and I remember missing it once on a host of mine
