I bought a Thinkpad X61 with 4GB a while back. At first it would recognise more than 3gb on either windows or squeeze. I checked the BIOS which was registering 4Gb. I had many other things to do and left it for a while. The windows deficiency must have been fixed in the Vista (shudder) SP1 update but the Debian shortfall continued and I've been following this thread.
I use aptitude and found the following kernel package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-686-bigmem Installed it, rebooted and hey presto,cat /proc/meminfo gives: MemTotal: 4074284 kB Thanks. You guys are so great. Regards Clive
