[Bug 1564740] Re: Booting kernel failed: Invalid argument

[japi]

I can confirm this issue with the following configuration:

ISO: ubuntu-16.10-desktop-amd64 (mounted as emulated drive / console redirection)
MB: Supermicro X10DRi
CPU: 2x Intel E5-2620v4
RAM: 128 GB

In BIOS/Legacy mode I get the same error:

Loading /install/mt86plus... ok
Booting kernel failed: Invalid argument

In UEFI mode memtest is not listed in the boot options.

Ubuntu itself starts without issues on the same hardware.
The iso file is not corrupt. Memtest runs fine from the same iso file in an VM.

Sidenote: The Windows memory test seems to have issues on this plattform too in BIOS mode:
It was finished as fast as if it would only check a small part of the RAM compared to the same test in UEFI mode. Maybe something is wrong with PAE and they check only 4GB...

Title:
  Booting kernel failed: Invalid argument

Status in memtest86+ package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I cannot run the Memory Test using the Xenial beta2 server image via a
  USB memory stick.

  The "verify disc" option ran to completion and reported no errors --
  is the memory test included in this verification?

  The error message on screen reads:

  Loading /install/mt86plus... ok
  Booting kernel failed: Invalid argument

  
  The system is dual e5-2630v3, 128 gigs ram, supermicro 6038r-e1cr16L.

  Thanks
