RE: [PATCH] Support for "hardware burn-in" stage (updated)

Looks nice Chris,

>From a hardware/bios designer perspective, I like this addition to the
memory test feature of Linux.
One suggestion/thought, should the Memory test feature be also listed/grouped with it? (this may be a separate issue though)

Good work,
Charles

Subject: [PATCH] Support for "hardware burn-in" stage (updated)

Dear friends,

This is my updated patch to support a hardware burn-in stage in D-I by way of enhancing the existing cpuburn package in Debian. Please refer to the original thread for justification and discussion, etc.

  http://people.debian.org/~terpstra/thread/20080208.150527.45aeb62d.en.html

This updated patch attempts to auto-detect the burn type to use, and incorporates a number of suggestions made on the previous thread.

Do you need help?

The patch is in three parts:

1. Modifies cpuburn packaging to be more accomodating to another binary package. (This is mostly moving debian/foo -> debian/cpuburn.foo, etc.)
2. Moves all patches from the .diff.gz to debian/patches and quilt. (This is completely optional and only required if building directly from the upstream tarball.)
3. Adds the cpuburn-udeb package (the interesting bit)

By request, I have uploaded some screenshots and .deb packages for i386 and amd64 here:
