Probably some kernel thingy.
Was the 2.6.11 kernel an 386 or 686 one and
now the 2.6.17 a k7 or something like this?
Then it is normal if HIGHMEM4 was not enabled,
since CPUS's up to 686 have general not more
then 768 MByte of ram.
Only the newer Mainboards P3 and higher have
HIGHMEM4 since all manboards support at least
2 GByte of memory
