Hi,

I release the source and binary of memtest64 ( a memtest util based on pure64 baremetalOS )

Thanks for the author of baremetal os, it really make developing a hobby 64bit OS much easier.

It can be load by grub using linux16 command:
# sudo cp bin/neos.bin /boot/
add an entry to grub.cfg:

menuentry "memtest64 load by linux16" {
    linux16 /boot/neos.bin
}

cheers

The SMP is disabled.

There is a method to build a large kenel which been loaded by grub to hi-memory (0x100000) just like linux bzImage kernel ,
by this means, we can create a large kernel, testing easily on really x64 machine without create a new file system or partition.

Neoe.
