The 32-bit generic .i686 kernel sees what the BIOS tells it is

it is usually something less (like 3.5 or 3.75 GB, depends on the
motherboard). In order to use *all* 4GB of RAM (or more), you need to
use a PAE enabled kernel instead of the generic .i686 kernel.
I understand that the .i686 kernels do have PAE enabled, not least
because it’s needed for NX/XD to work.
Hope this helps,
James.
The 'kernel' package does not have PAE enabled. You need to install the
kernel-PAE package if you want NX/XD or 4G+ of RAM.
