it without much trouble. Be advised that MEMTEST86+ couldn't find the
problem.

>> Oct 16 14:07:36 xenserver1 kernel: EDAC MC0: UE row 0, channel-a= 0
>> channel-b= 1 labels "-": NON-FATAL recoverable (Branch=0 DRAM-Bank=0
>> Buffer ID = 0 RDWR=Read RAS=0 CAS=0 NON-FATAL recoverable Err=0x2000
>> (FB-DIMM Configuration Write error on first attempt))
