Don't go editing grub's configuration files directly if at all possible. Edit <tt>/etc/default/grub</tt> and rebuild them with <tt>update-grub</tt>. Note that <tt>update-grub2</tt> is these days just a symlink to <tt>update-grub</tt>. If what you want to change isn't available via <tt>/etc/default/grub</tt>, try to do it via <tt>/etc/grub.d</tt>. If you're directly editing <tt>grub.cfg</tt>, you're gonna have a bad time (and your changes will be blown away the next time someone runs <tt>update-grub</tt>). | |||
Do yourself a favor and install [https://packages.debian.org/sid/memtest86+ memtest86+], which will be automatically added to your grub menu on [[UEFI]] machines. | |||
