Unable to run `Memory Test` from Grub's boot menu: `error: file /boot/Memory not found`

[alven]

If I select Memory Test in GRUB’s boot menu I get the error: file /boot/Memory not found message on the blank black screen.

Images having the issue (at least):
manjaro-kde-21.2.1-220103-linux515.iso,
manjaro-kde-22.01-development-unstable-220109-linux515.iso.

I let the image to find the file on installed OS copy: I installed Manjaro OS and retried again with bootable media: I see the same error. It looks like the file should be inside of ISO image.

I used ventoy 1.0.64 to boot images.

If you are using UEFI, then install memtest86-efi, not memtest86+. ​

OR

You download the memtest ISO from the official website, then flash it into a USB stick.

@Zesko

UEFI

The PC runs BIOS, not EFI

Yes, your suggestions could fix the issue: already ran the test under the installed OS copy environment using it’s boot menu.

The point was to report the issue: memtest can’t be executed under a LiveCD ISO environment. I think it is the issue: Boot menu item is present but does not work.

if it is matters, I burned ventoy with GPT and started that bootable media on BIOS-only machine.

On the installed system:

test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo "efi" || echo "bios"
bios

inxi -Mazy1

I think it is the known issue:

Memory Test no longer included on live ISOs?

I just booted the latest XFCE and Cinnamon ISOs to run the Memory Test. It still shows up as an option in the Grub menu, but when you select Memory Test it says, “error: file ‘/boot/Memory’ not found”. Is this a packaging error and should Memory Test be on the ISOs or should the option be removed from the Grub menu?

I burned ventoy boot media with MBR.
Tried latest dev image mentioned in the initial post of the thread: the same error message.

I went through linked post Memory Test no longer included on live ISOs? - #2 by M0nst3r by Zesko and replaced the line to linux16 /boot/memtest.
Pressing Ctrl+X or F10 in try to save and boot it leads to PC reboot.

I went into GRUB cmd line:

It looks like it is the memtest file issue: it quits immediately after calling it, but if to install OS from the LiveCD media and do not update the OS, and to try to run Memory test in GRUB menu w/o any edition, then Memtest starts fine.
