Yes, this is true .. unless the bios is having issues. You might want to check for a more recent bios upgrade for your motherboard. I had issues with a Soyo board which saw 256M but after a bios upgrade it saw 64M..but was fine when I returned to the previous version. Check this out..and get back to us.
append="mem=256M" However recent kernel versions (2.0.36+) should be able to detect extra memory automatically!
