I thought that 4GB of RAM *are* supported in the default kernel? But apart from that, I'm having a quite similar problem with a completely different machine. It turns out that very much RAM is eaten, depending on various BIOS settings. I haven't figured out how to tune it, but currently I'm losing some 700+MB this way (really AWFUL!). I have found out that enabling PXE eats some 20MB per NIC on which it is enabled, though. Kind regards, --Toni++
