I just installed Memtest and added the appropriate lines to my grub list. The thing is, everytime I select memtest, I get a blank screen with this error:
Error 28 : selected item cannot fit into memory
I have a gig of RAM on this test machine and verified that the RAM wasn't at fault via hiren's boot CD.
Here is a slice of my menu.lst file:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/944e3758-2f21-4d75-a98e-1720f288df22 ro

FWIW, memtest86+ runs on an ubuntu box just fine. Searching through the Arch forums did not return a relevant result.
Could anyone please help me out? Thanks.

Just of the top of my head: memtest86 and memtest86+ are different things, check the path if the .bin is really there.

I'm no expert but try modifying your menu.lst to read:
Title Memtest86+ v2.11
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/memtest86+/memtest.bin
CPU-optimized Linux-ck packages @ Repo-ck • AUR packages • Zsh and other configs

Or
Title Memtest86+ v2.11
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin
