You might want to try the PXE-bootable version of memtest available from http://boot.ipxe.org/memtest.0 - this does not have the same restrictions on memory layout as the standard .lkrn format, and has the advantage that you can instruct it to perform a set number of passes and then return with a success/failure state to the iPXE script:

Code:

chain memtest.0 passes=1 && echo Memory OK || echo Memory test failed

I have that one in the menu as well, but most want version 5.01 mainly since it is "faster" (thats the unscientific reason from the users)


The original problem by Leppunen however is with memdisk
