  just picked up a new ASUS laptop and first thing i tried was to just
boot from a ubuntu 11.04 dvd and do a memory test.  but the memory
test didn't do anything -- the memtest+ screen came up, but no
testing, it just sat there.

  when i rebooted, it booted into ubuntu just fine so that's not a
problem -- just memtest.  any reason that might be?
