Package: memtest86+
Version: 2.01-1.1
Severity: normal

I run an installation with Grub2.
The interesting lines in the script,
to gererate the memtest86+ entry in grub.conf,
look like this: 


if test -e /boot/memtest86+.bin ; then
  echo "Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin" >&2
  cat << EOF
menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" {
	linux	${GRUB_DRIVE_BOOT}/memtest86+.bin
}
EOF

But the variable GRUB_DRIVE_BOOT is not defined anywhere in my system
(nor i believe in some elses system), which brings this output in 
/boot/grub/grub.conf:


	linux	/memtest86+.bin

which doesn't work in my case.


The solution to make it work for me is
changing /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ like this:

diff --git a/grub.d/20_memtest86+ b/grub.d/20_memtest86+
index 33677de..0740f60 100755
--- a/grub.d/20_memtest86+
+++ b/grub.d/20_memtest86+
@@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ if test -e /boot/memtest86+.bin ; then
   echo "Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin" >&2
   cat << EOF
 menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" {
-       linux   ${GRUB_DRIVE_BOOT}/memtest86+.bin
+       linux   /boot/memtest86+.bin
 }
 EOF
 fi

But I assume that this is not a solution for people who have
a seperate boot partition.
