There are three options for Memhole mapping in my BIOS: Disabled, Hardware,
and Software. I really don't know why there would be a "software" option, or
what it does. Also, I'm not sure what the difference between continuous and
discrete MTRR mapping is. The BIOS says it has to do with some linux
kernels, but I haven't found any reliable information about it.
I disabled Memhole mapping and PREEMPT entirely. I'll try to stress test out
some more oopses. I'll also memtest86 all of the memory.
Thanks for the help,
Jake Martin
