Closed issue by daerich on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/34399
Description:
Hi :D,
while looking for a way to, just in case, checking most of the installed memory for corruption/faulty behavior on Linux, I stumbled upon
the "memtest=" kernel parameter, which supposedly lets you run those kinds of tests(in a very primitive way).
Now, not being proficient in all of the Kernels quirks/bugs, is there a reason it is disabled by default in Void's (latest) packaged Kernel(s)?
And, could it be enabled?
Or is the gain miniscule, the feature obscure/deprecated, unreliable, not qualified for normal use?
