14) Known Problems
==================
Sometimes when booting from a floppy disk the following messages scroll up
on the screen:
X:8000
AX:0212
BX:8600
CX:0201
DX:0000
This the BIOS reporting floppy disk read errors. Either re-write or toss
the floppy disk.

Memtest86 has no support for multiple CPUs. Memtest86 should run
without problems, but it will only use one CPU.

Memtest86 can not diagnose many types of PC failures. For example a
faulty CPU that causes Windows to crash will most likely just cause
Memtest86 to crash in the same way.

There have been numerous reports of errors in only tests 5 and 8 on Athlon
systems. Often the memory works in a different system or the vendor insists
that it is good. In these cases the memory is not necessarily bad but is
not able to operate reliably at Athlon speeds. Sometimes more conservative
memory timings on the motherboard will correct these errors. In other
cases the only option is to replace the memory with better quality, higher
speed memory. Don't buy cheap memory and expect it to work with an Athlon!

Memtest86 supports all types of memory. If fact the test has absolutely
no knowledge of the memory type nor does it need to. This not a problem
or bug but is listed here due to the many questions I get about this issue.

Changes in the compiler and loader have caused problems with
Memtest86 resulting in both build failures and errors in execution. A
binary image (precomp.bin) of the test is included and may be used if
problems are encountered.
