I want to test new memory, but can't find memtest86 entry in grub2 menu. I looked at script /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ and found this lines

# We need 16-bit boot, which isn't available on EFI.
if [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ]; then
  exit 0
fi

The directory /sys/firmware/efi exists. Why memtest menu entry not added, if /sys/firmware/efi exists?

I saw that question. But there is no mention about /sys/firmware/efi. – Sergey Sinitsyn May 05 '15 at 11:44
It's not 100% clear whether the user in the How can I add the Memtest86+ options back to the Grub menu? question is actually booting in EFI mode, but you definitely are, and some of the answers to that question directly address this condition. – Rod Smith May 05 '15 at 13:13
Ok, I'll try to comment this lines and run update-grub – Sergey Sinitsyn May 05 '15 at 13:13
Menu entries are now shown, but nothing happens when I choose it. – Sergey Sinitsyn May 05 '15 at 13:43
Yes, sorry. I did not read carefully. Found the answer in that question. – Sergey Sinitsyn May 06 '15 at 08:35
