Yes I've seen it and posted it to the Slug list before...
seems the jury is still out. Don't know why it happens.

Hi,

  We have an IBM xSeries 306 (88364SU) in which we just put 4 x 1 GB
of RAM, and when it boots, it says 4096M System Memory Installed, and
then 3327M OK.  Once Linux boots up, it only has 3.2 GB.

  I tried calling IBM support but the rep said that the missing memory
got allocated to PCI devices.

  It seems unbelievable to me that 0.8 GB would go to PCI devices...
seems like quite a lot.   Has anybody run into this before?

Thanks,
