Xorg: I don't remember the exact error at the moment, but if you look at the install script, it uses Bash string indexing that assumes the disk name is always 8 characters. https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/memtest86-efi?h=memtest86-efi#n98 for example. You can immediately see that the disk name `/dev/nvme0n1` gets cut off at `/dev/nvm` which is not right. ;)

@moll: Install script is provided by myself. Can you paste your error, please?
moll commented on 2017-08-14 13:49 (UTC)
Hey,
Thanks for the package. I'm not sure where to report this, but the install script fails for non 8-character disks like NVMe, whose 1st partition gets assigned /dev/nvme0n1p1.

The latest update fixes booting from EFI boot into memtest86, on Asus mobos.

This is what I use.
[Trigger]
Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade
Type = Package
Target = memtest86-efi
[Action]
Depends = coreutils
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/cp /usr/share/memtest86-efi/bootx64.efi /boot/EFI/tools/memtest86.efi
It needs that name, and needs to be in that folder for rEFInd to detect memtest86.

Sorry for delay. I have added hooks. Please tell me if you see something wrong.

@Xorg, your work is amazing and yes in this case will bring "only" a simplified and more ordered file
anyhow, it would be a proof of concept and it will bring this package into the new pacman's hook era
UnicornDarkness commented on 2016-12-16 08:09 (UTC)
What is the problem with .install file? :(
Ok, I'll try to write a hook, but I'm not sure it will change anything.
zerophase commented on 2016-12-14 15:00 (UTC)
I have a pacman hook I can toss up. Been using it so refind can find the binary.
nTia89 commented on 2016-12-14 10:38 (UTC)
do you plan to switch from .install script to a pacman hook?

As you probably know, the
<https://www.memtest86.com/downloads/memtest86-usb.zip>URL is likely to cause problems, like this error:To avoid this problem, I prefer to reupload
memtest86-usb.ziparchive somewhere else, where this kind of breakage will not appear.I can't upload this archive on AUR directly (archive is 8 MB but AUR accepts 250 KiB maximum), so I decide to put this archive on my Git repository to avoid future breakages.
I hope it suits you.
