Not really. You can force a particular amount with REALBASEMEM
and REALEXTMEM, but the GENERIC kernel wouldn't have that.  Maybe
something's not quite right with the hardware?  Try a stand-alone
memory tester, such as "memtest86+" from sourceforge. If it checks
out, you could try forcing the issue with the above-mentioned
kernel options.
