Please feel free to let me know if you need to access my setup to do some investigation.
Hello Thomas, can you please take a look at this issue?
Hello Thomas , Could you please update the bugs status.
I tried to reproduce this via KVM, but memtest starts successfully. Maybe you can even confirm that there is the same test running on KVM/baremetal successfully. That would means this only happens on a Xen system (Does the version matter? Or better is there a defined Xen version/system beneath or could SLE 15 SP6 be tested on a SLE XY Xen booted machine)? I could find hints that the VM was started on a kernel kernel, but not which version: VIRSH_VMM_FAMILY xen VIRSH_VMM_TYPE hvm WORKER_CLASS svirt-xen I also wonder how important (useful) this is. memtest is intended to find HW issues. Every customer would be advised to reboot the physical machine and boot directly into an install media and start memtest there. Is it possible to access such a (XEN) machine? Would it be easy to blacklist this specific test (and only test memtest on baremetal)?
The same test passed with the latest build https://openqa.suse.de/tests/13553916#step/memtest/13
The result (memtest works now) probably comes from the version upgrade done recently. As mentioned by Richard in private discussion it was version 5.x failing we now have 6.20 which was checked into SLE 15 SP6 some days ago: Elisei Roca (eroca) accepted request 318916 from Lubos Kocman's avatar Lubos Kocman (lkocman) 9 days ago (revision 2) - Update to 6.20 to support UEFI bsc#1217409 * Change spec license to GPL-2.0-only Be careful that the changelog history certainly has been taken over when submitting the package, there it states that the version is 6.20 for quite some time already, but this is not the case for SLE 15 SP6: Sat May 13 10:08:09 UTC 2023 - ecsos <ecsos@opensuse.org> - Update to 6.20
Thanks for your help! close the bug for now since the issue is not reproduced
