Before looking into kernel option (all? recent kernel come by default with 
bigmem enabled), I would look into the specs of the machine, ie: does it 
support any memory speed with 4 Gb? I have seem thread in the past here 
relating to this problem. And I know for sure on my aspire 5715z, this is the 
case.
