            Bug ID: 211204
           Summary: loading memtest86+ reboots the system
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org

I am using FreeBSD 10.2 amd64. On my earlier i386 installation, memtest86+ ran
perfectly. I recently upgraded my hardware, moving from EVM 2GB DDR3 RAM to
Hynix (Hyundai) 8 GB DDR3 RAM, after which I moved to FreeBSD 10.2 amd64. When
at the FreeBSD boot loader prompt, I issue the commands :

1) unload    # ok till here
2) load /boot/opt/memtest86+    # problem : the system simply does dead/reboots

Incidentally running memtest86 (not memtest86+) from a bootable CD runs on the
system perfectly, producing zero errors in 2 passes secured in about 75
minutes.

I don't think it is important, but just in case it is needed, my system uses
MBR partitioning with just 1 partition ada0s4a for the root partition, which
holds all data.
