Yes

However, the pattern selection is done through modulo of the number of available patterns here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/m...est.c#L110 .
So while "memtest=256" will work (evidently), the benefit of looping through the same patterns over and over is unlikely to find new errors. On the other hand, when the memory fails due to overclocking I think the results will be less consistent because some cells will appear to both pass and fail randomly. It's an interesting experiment but without persistence across reboots I don't think it will yield much of a benefit?
I think in line with the OP, memory instability, it is still a path worth walking. My overclocking days go back to getting 100MHz out of my Pentium 75 and yup the BraveHeart seems to be susceptible to thermal issues. I don't think we are dealing with "bad" memory, just as we degrade the environment it is in, it starts misbehaving. So running memtest for longer was my aim (and I can't read a line of C code
, in my day it was FORTRAN & Assembler) - in the old days systems that were over-overclocked usually took a while to get them to show measurable stress.

From there you can power off and let it cool down again before you flash U-boot with 600 MHz DRAM
Yeah had similar thought: Managed to get into ssh after a "cold" boot with memtest=256 and 624MHz memory.
Code:
$ ./mem.sh
No memtest output found in kernel log, wrong boot option?but

OK - Just worked out my problem above is that memtest=256 caused the boot log to "overflow" and lose the initial verbage.
I changed memtest=85 (runs for approx 5 mins and sadly despite 624MHz no errors) and get "nice/clean/expected" results:
Code:
$ ./mem.sh
