Re: [cobalt-users] testing memory (RaQXTR, RaQ550)

[josh <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just thought I'd add.This is the link to the package from sun:

ftp://ftp-eng.cobalt.com/pub/experimental/pkg/Cobalt-Allx86-MemoryTester-1.0.pkg

that was built using the version listed

[10:43:52:war-admiral:/proc]sudo /usr/local/sbin/memtest --help
memtest v. 2.93.1
(C) 2000 Charles Cazabon <memtest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Original v.1 (C) 1999 Simon Kirby <sim@xxxxxxxxxxx> <sim@xxxxxxxxx>

with code from 
http://memtest86.com/

And if anyone has any ideas on how to compile the code there now so I
can build the newer memtest - it will help.
