IF THE BIOS does only find 3 GByte, then tere is something wrong with
your Laptop or the BIOS and this has nothing to do with Debian.
This is probably irrelevant but it may help someone searching the
archives. 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.

No it hasnt.MS just "fixed" it to show how much memory you have
installed and not how much you can allocate.Too many complaints by users
probably...If both windows and debian cant allocate the full amount you
need to change the memory hole/memory remapping settings in bios.
