the following was taken from RedHat's WWW support section. the information
was obtained by typing 'ram' into the search engine.

H.3.5 Why does Linux only see part of my RAM?
There are a couple things that could be wrong. On some 386's, you need to
compile your kernel with ``Limit memory to 16M?'' enabled. Some AMI BIOS
motherboards have a memory option to split memory into two segments. I'm
not sure what the option is called, but it has something to do with
``linear''. You'll find it in your BIOS setup. You may need to specify the
amount of memory to the kernel at boot time from lilo. To try this, type:
linux mem=32M at the lilo prompt. If that works, you can add that line to
the append in your /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo. The example from above
would be:
append = "mem=32M"
Don't forget to run `lilo' after editing the file.
