    Please calm down; I cleared all the comments that don't have anything to do with the actual question. I don't know where you got the impression that you can't answer comments like "have you tried running a RAM test", but you can and it'd be a good start to diagnosing the problem

Six years ago I had similar problem with my Fedora server. The kernel messages:



*BAD*gran_size...


can have three basic reasons:



  • corrupted physical memory

  • corrupted BIOS

  • wrong MTRR size

I have solved the problem by enabling MTRR sanitizer, read my post (I'm melal on Fedora forum) and another post below it.



Additionally read this, to understand what the messages *BAD*gran_size... mean.
