Go into the BIOS and see if it sees the RAM
This is not entirely accurate. On some systems, the kernel does not necessarily see the full complement of memory. You sometimes have to pass a parameter to the kernel at boot time using "append=" and a ram parameter in your lilo.conf file.
In general it is the case - yes there are some strange old compaqs etc with memory holes and other anomalies, but with recent hardware I have never seen this issue -
