Hi all.

Today i wanted to try the memtest= boot parameter but it didn't work.

So i found that the memtest funcionality is not present in Debiankernels: neither 2.6.32-24 nor 2.6.36~rc6-1~experimental.1:

# CONFIG_MEMTEST is not set

I wonder why. Are there performance problems? Compatibility with somearches? Other?

To me seems an handy feature.

Ciao.

Cesare.
