Hello, finally install Clear Linux! ventoy gave problems⦠the partitions did not exist. BalenaEtcher worked!
Clear Linux does not have Grub, it only uses two parameters, memtest is the most important. (to find bad bits).
I have problems adding the kernel parameter āmemtest=4ā
I canāt find similar information for ClearLinux
DISCLAIMER: i do not know what i am talking about. and i am not responsible for trouble you cause yourself
TL;DR:
press e key at startup to edit for one-time bootup.
edit /boot/loader/entries/*.conf, the options key for permanent editing.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING BEFORE READING THE FOLLOWING STUFF !

https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION/#type-1-boot-loader-specification-entries
to get config files, mount the boot partition on /boot/

Thanks, I was able to search more and it really is āeasierā!
but Clear Linux doesnāt have memtest enabled in the kernel
uname -a
grep MEMTEST /usr/lib/kernel/config-5.18.11-1159.native
CONFIG_MEMTEST is not set
request. it may be granted.

Android is switching to this file system for it's read only partitions, so extra⦠cting firmware from devices is rather difficult when your kernel doesn't have support for that file system. OnePlus has already made the switch ahead of time.

```
There are cases that a commit from one domain changes the function address ⦠alignment of other domains, and cause magic performance bump (regression or improvement).
Enable this option will help to verify if the bump is caused by function alignment changes, while it will slightly increase the kernel size and affect icache usage.
It is mainly for debug and performance tuning use.
```

```
ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_32B
KBUILD_CFLAGS += -falign-functions=32
endif
```
En passant: 5.12 will be released with official Clang LTO support (LLVM 12 has been released). There are also some patches for using GCC LTO, for those who want it (https://github.com/andikleen/linux-misc/tree/lto-5.11-2).

memtest was added
Works? iām testing. no bugs currently. ()
dmesg doesnāt show corrupted addresses. but for now itās fine.

Hello, can you please add CONFIG_MEMTEST=y to config for kernels?
It does not c⦠hange default behaviour, but enables user to add memtest=4 option to kernel command line in order to do brief RAM test during boot. It is done directly by kernel without need for external tool like memtest86+, results can then be found in dmesg.
memtest= [KNL,X86,ARM] Enable memtest
Format: <integer>
default : 0 <disable>
Specifies the number of memtest passes to be
performed. Each pass selects another test
pattern from a given set of patterns. Memtest
fills the memory with this pattern, validates
memory contents and reserves bad memory
regions that are detected.
tags: damaged ram | repair RAM on Linux | memtest=4 | RAM test on servers.
