Describe the bug When trying to boot memtest86+ 6.20 on menu 2.0.76 (latest one available while writing this) in EFI mode, I'm getting errors after the efi file of memtest86+ is downloaded (see screenshot).

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Boot netbootxyz in EFI mode
  2. Go to Utilities (UEFI)
  3. Try to boot memtest86+ 6.20

Expected behavior Memtest86+ boots

[On a sidenote v7.00 was released recently: https://github.com/memtest86plus/memtest86plus/releases which I'm not sure would or would not fix this issue.]

Did you happen to try 7.x series. I saw different behaviors on Proxmox vs VMWare between versions so I left them both as available.
