That's weird. I see a similar problem with 4Gb RAM on Debian with a  
32-bit kernel - dmesg says:

Warning only 4GB will be used.
Use a PAE enabled kernel.
3200MB HIGHMEM available.
896MB LOWMEM available.

On a box with 6Gb and a 64-bit kernel:

6016MB HIGHMEM available.
896MB LOWMEM available.

Are you using a 32-bit kernel? Easy mistake - I accidentally ran an  
1850 with a non-smp kernel for a few months before I noticed I was  
down 3 cores... Duh!
