Hi...
Yes -- it works perfectly ;-)
I rebooted into GRUB and chose the memtest86+ entry and it ran fine...
Here's my menu.lst entry for it -- (hd1,0) is my Linux drive - /dev/hdc, where
my kernels are as well....(/dev/hdb (PrimarySlave) is an optical CDRW)
---------------
[...]
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel memtest86+
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin
boot
### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
[...]

Again, I'm on an Intel 440BX PII (350MHz), 100FSB, 192MB RAM - circa 1999/2000
Using Debian Sarge 3.1r2 (IA32 arch);
~$ uname -a
Linux <host> 2.6.8-3-686 #1 Thu May 25 02:27:57 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
I'm in the process of upgrading completely (dist-upgrade) to "testing" ATM ;-)
p.s.
More; helpful hardware utilities perhaps that I use a lot (as well as 'lspci
-vv' as root)
'dmidecode'
'hwinfo'
