I am using LMDE for about 1 month. Until today the Grub menu had 2 option one is usual login and another is recovery login. But suddenly today while booting i am seeing 3 more entries added regarding memtest+.
Why is that? Any problem with my hardware or other thing?
Anyway the system is running fine without any issues. Any information will be highly appreciated.

It comes from the file 20_memtest86 in /etc/grub.d. If you feel that it is not needed, just do
If you do not want the recovery entry in the grub menu, uncomment the relevant line in /etc/default/grub:

Updating seems to do that? On a new install there's no memtest entries whatsoever...

It is not working. Says no such file or directory found.
