I thought installing it would have created
the grub entry, as it had done before long
ago when I was running fc16.
Does anyone have the grub entry to share?
Looks like this was maybe part of 20_linux_xen, according to /etc/grub.d/README but
it's not there now. It may be easier to just google something for memtest grub, and
then modify 40_custom to contain that entry, then run grub2-mkconfig -o
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg to add it to the grub.cfg. The gotcha is this assumes BIOS. On UEFI,
the memtest86+ binary is completely different, and the grub menu entry needed is also
going to be slightly different.
