I have the same problem on my Gateway 2000, circa several years ago.  I had
to disable shadow BIOS.  It wasn't just the OS that couldn't see the extra
RAM - the BIOS couldn't see it unless it was non-shadowed.  I suppose
shadowing the BIOS and then actually probing for memory would be the best
solution for me.  If I make progress, I will let you know.
