Synology: PXE Server - Add memtest86+

memtest86+ header

I sometimes need to check memory, so I add memtest86+ 5.01 as a choice to my existing PXE Server on Synology Diskstation.

Download and decompress pre-compiled binary memtest86+ 5.01

wget http://www.memtest.org/download/5.01/memtest86+-5.01.bin.gz
gzip -dv ./memtest86+-5.01.bin.gz

Create 'memtest' folder on PXE server and copy the binary file as memtest86+-5.01

mkdir -p /volume1/pxe/memtest
mv memtest86+-5.01.bin /volume1/pxe/memtest/memtest86+-5.01

Add entry to the bottom of /volume1/pxe/pxelinux.cfg/default file

label memtest
menu label Run a ^memtest
kernel memtest/memtest86+-5.01

Put them all in a script file pxememtest.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Run 'sudo -i' to be root, then run this script
# Download pre-compiled binary memtest86+ 5.01
wget http://www.memtest.org/download/5.01/memtest86+-5.01.bin.gz
# Decompress
gzip -dv ./memtest86+-5.01.bin.gz
# Create 'memtest' folder on pxe server's root folder
mkdir -p /volume1/pxe/memtest
# Copy memtest86+-5.01.bin to /volume1/pxe/memtest/ as memtest86+-5.01
mv memtest86+-5.01.bin /volume1/pxe/memtest/memtest86+-5.01
# Add entry to /volume1/pxe/pxelinux.cfg/default file
export menufile="/volume1/pxe/pxelinux.cfg/default"
echo -e "\nlabel memtest\nmenu label Run a ^memtest\nkernel memtest\/memtest86+-5.01" >> $menufile
# End of script
