    Question Should I Run, (memtest86+, serial console 115200)

    Hello Linux Users,

    When Grub loads on the boot up of my system, it gives me two options(besides which OS to boot iinto)
    Memory test (memtest86+)
    Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)

    Which one should I run for a memtest, I do not know the difference.

    Thank you.

    I think the second outputs to a serial console, which I doubt you have. Try the first.

    Ya, you are right. Serial Console is for Remote Access. Thank you.

    So then.... if its for Remote access which I don't have can it be removed?

    Or if not at least hidden from the grub menu?

    I am not sure if you can hide it. I would open a separate thread.
