Have you tried a live CD?
Does the BIOS see all the memory?
What 'grub/kernel option' are you talking about?
I am not familiar with the memtest probe method, but maybe that is a
clue.
Does the memory test OK after the memtest probe method?
Have you googled the issue?
e.g googling on 'P4 memtest' (without the quotes.) has some interesting
results - are any of those helpful?
You could download an old version of a Debian Installer CD from about
the time your PC was popular and see if it boots.
