Any ideas?
All the comments about enabling 4G highmem are correct - the kernel can't
address a full gig without it. However, enabling this slightly slows
down your memory, and some people choose to keep it off for speed unless
they're using the full gig. Another option, better imho, is to use a
kernel with the 1g_lowmem patch (originally from -ck patchset) or to
patch it in yourself, which enables exactly 1 gig of memory at full
speed.
The patch for kernel 2.6.12 is available here:
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.12/2.6.12-ck3/patches/1g_lowmem1_i386.diff
If you need it for a different kernel version, start here:

He could also emerge ck-sources, which include the full ck patchset and
genpatches base.
I've been using them for about a year now on my desktop machine. In my
experience, and according to the ck mailing-list, the patches are very
stable these days.
There is also a server version of the patchset. To get this with emerge
you have to enable the 'ck-server' USE flag.
