Just installed a new server that has 4 gigs of ram. Running cat /proc/meminfo shows only 3 gigs of memory. I though maybe there was a bad stick. Checking the bios screen at boot does show 4 gigs. Any ideas why etch isn't seeing all 4 gigs?

$ apt-cache search linux-image bigmem

or install a 64-bit flavor of Debian, if you have a 64-bit processor.
