Hi Linux gods,
i'd like to be able to do a "real" memory test on my installed 4GB (X1000) due to my system having problems and crashes of ramlib.support lately when going over 75% of the used 2 GB in AmigaOS (I'm trying to corner that problem to hardware-wise - memory sticks - or software-wise - should be addressed in the OS).
e.g. the "memtester" program from OS4Depot.net (yet overall not really trustworthy i was told), is smart enough to only address that much memory that is actually available...doing a fast test i tried to address 1.5GB - where 400 MB were in use by the OS - and it counted down to 853 MB, which it finally used - leaving me with 66% of used memory, while i don't know why it can't address the rest.
Not to mention that i got that dreaded ramlib.support crash on quitting memtester
Now, i do know nothing of Linux on Amiga and frankly, i don't want to read up all the tech talk either
If someone could provide me a step to step guide on where to download and how to set up a minimalistic linux on an usb stick (it should not really do more than test the memory actually - i don't want it to be installed or tamper with my partitions) i'd be most grateful.
Thanks a lot

Re: Maintenance Linux on a stick
Why should it be a stick? Just use the DVD from Amigakit with Ubuntu12.04 !
It is definitly slow and the stick is'nt much faster.

I could add memtester to the SliTaz initrd.gz if you like.Raziel wrote:Download link?papaoskar wrote:Why should it be a stick? Just use the DVD from Amigakit with Ubuntu12.04 !

Running Linux on AmigaONEs can require some tinkering.

If you could add a guide on how to make it run, that would be marvellous, thank youxeno74 wrote:I could add memtester to the SliTaz initrd.gz if you like.Raziel wrote:Download link?papaoskar wrote:Why should it be a stick? Just use the DVD from Amigakit with Ubuntu12.04 !

Thanks a lot for that hint, completely missed the thread
So, here's hoping for a fix in FE

If you were doing it anyway then i'd be glad to test (wanted to run a memtest over the whole 4 GB anyway some time), but if you are going to spend time on it you could spend on other things, then please don't waste it
Thank you very much for the offer, though
