Daniel,

        Ok, the planets have aligned and the append line worked ..the machines
sees all the mem now. Apparently the new bios messes with Linux and it
can't read the memory correctly. The previous version of the bios worked
w/ out any modifications. I don't have a valid reason for why this
happened..and I don't care..all the memory is being seen..and now I can
get some work done..

        Thanks to all who tried to help me...
laters,
