RE: [PATCH] Support for "hardware burn-in" stage (updated)
Looks nice Chris,
>From a hardware/bios designer perspective, I like this addition to the
memory test feature of Linux.
One suggestion/thought, should the Memory test feature be also
listed/grouped with it? (this may be a separate issue though)
Good work,
Charles

Subject: [PATCH] Support for "hardware burn-in" stage (updated)
Dear friends,
This is my updated patch to support a hardware burn-in stage in D-I by way
of enhancing the existing cpuburn package in Debian. Please refer to the
original thread for justification and discussion, etc.
http://people.debian.org/~terpstra/thread/20080208.150527.45aeb62d.en.html
This updated patch attempts to auto-detect the burn type to use, and
incorporates a number of suggestions made on the previous thread.
The patch is in three parts:
1. Modifies cpuburn packaging to be more accomodating to another binary
package. (This is mostly moving debian/foo -> debian/cpuburn.foo, etc.)
2. Moves all patches from the .diff.gz to debian/patches and quilt. (This
is completely optional and only required if building directly from the
upstream tarball.)
3. Adds the cpuburn-udeb package (the interesting bit)
By request, I have uploaded some screenshots and .deb packages for i386 and
amd64 here:
