This is Red Hat Linux 9 machine with a stock kernel.  Am I missing some
crucial point?  Has anyone else dealt with a lower than expected
reported memory?

Thanks,

You probably need to recompile your kernel to support > 1GB.
At least that is what you need to do with Libranet Debian.
Recompiling the Libranet kernel is easy - I did it to match the CPU's on my boxes (default is 486).
