Not to be a pain, but did you run it for at least 12 hours?
Sadly, it can take that long or longer to uncover a marginal
module. A really-horribly-bad module will fail in the first
run, but you may not be that "lucky".
If it were my machine I would probably run a RAM tester overnight.

e of them are cheap enough, and switching
from the vendor ROM to GrapheneOS is easy enough. Compared to AOSP,
GrapheneOS has some genuine usability features, e.g., a usable
backup/restore solution.
Hopefully some of this is useful. Sorry I can't provide more!

Unfortunately AMD64 VM is a hack. The 2^48 addressable bytes aren't
contiguous! 2^47 of them go up from 0 and the other 2^47 of them go
down from (64-bit) -1.

actually, code that uses gcc seems to require massive
rewrite just to accommodate different versions of gcc.
I think the most fun I had was when the meaning of some
inline asm() changed. Not a massive rewrite, since it
was only one line, but it was none the less painful.
