And you are sure you have 2GB of memory? What's in /boot/grub/menu.lst?

Without mem variable the same result
Than you.

Hm, not sure what it is... Do you see any memory-related messages during startup (or in the

dmesg

output)?

The "less" memory showing is because of Xen. Xen takes a chunk of memory and hides it from the system(own use). On my box with 4G of ram and no VM's started, free -m shows a total of 3770Megs.
