Arch Linux

Description: The EFI version of grub cannot boot extra/memtest86+... at least with the included /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ which asks grub to use 'linux16' which is not compatible with EFI as I understand it.

I searched and found the following which claims that it is fixed, but I don't think it is based on my experience:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22993


Additional info:
* package version(s) 2.00-1

Steps to reproduce:
*Install extra/memtest86+ on a functional grub-efi-x86_64 machine.
*Update grub's config file.

The aforementioned script will add the entry to /boot/grub/grub.cfg which calls for 'linux16' to launch memtest86+ but grub will throw the error, "Command not found: linux16" and drop the user back to the grub menu.

For reference, I have attached the relevant section of my grub.cfg (auto generated):

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ###
menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" --class memtest86 --class gnu --class tool {
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,gpt2'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,gpt2 --hint-efi=hd0,gpt2 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt2 da909177-3dfd-44ca-8416-be0fb605c971
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root da909177-3dfd-44ca-8416-be0fb605c971
fi
linux16 ($root)/memtest86+/memtest.bin
}
### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ ###
