to respond to myself, i tested 8gb of ram and the kernel
(2.4.22-1.2129.nptlsmp) only reports 3.5gb.
well that's because i had the mem=4gb kernel param in there still.
without that, it shows 7.5gb free. i am sorry for the misinformation
earlier.
i still don't understand where the extra half gigabyte of ram disappears
to, however.
i am still unable to get 2.6.0-test11-x86_64-3 to boot on this system,
tho it is likely due to my unfamiliarity with 2.6 and my unfamiliarity
with the architecture.
thanks for everyone's help today!
