Due to my interest in booting Linux on a system with 16 MB memory[0], I have been reading a bit about the kernel's memory management. Seems that some older kernels (don't remember if they were older 2.6 versions or 2.4) only show up to about that amount (885MB) on some older CPU-chipset combinations. If you can't upgrade to the latest and greatest[1], I would suggest looking around for some kind of memory boundary issue with >1GB of RAM. Another thing to try is using a -highmem kernel.
Hope this helps. [0] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user/294020 [1] http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.21.5 -- Andrew J.
