This doesn't work in my case, because in my case /boot/ is on a separate partition, and hence the path to memtest is wrong:

# mount | fgrep /boot
/dev/sda2 on /boot type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered)
# 

Some more info:

# rpm -qa 'memtest*'
memtester-4.2.1-alt1
memtest86+-4.20-alt1
memtest86-3.5-alt2

Забираю.

Just in case you're interested in fixing up 39_memtest, patches (or hacks) are welcome -- it's not a part of upstream so didn't actually change in 2.00 package yet.

Оказывается, об этой грабельке уже сообщалось...
