I've previously dealt with mbs that had a "memory hole" problem (ASUS) but that only prevented some of the RAM *above* the first GB being usable. That was sort of fixed with a BIOS upgrade. It "sounds" like you are booting the install from Windows (loadlin.exe) which means that many of the kernel parameters we are suggesting may not work - it may also mean the problem is Windows...
