Not necessarily; I'd still like to hear whether the amd64 version works
fine.  If it does, it's most likely the BIOS memory layout that's the
issue.

A PAE-enabled kernel would probably work - Nishith: have you tried
installing a -server variant of the kernel and seeing whether that can
utilise all of your memory?
