Well I know running a 64 bit kernel on that model, does see 16GB ram.
But I was doing that with no LPAR or anything else, just Debian installed
straight onto the machine (IBM support people have a hard time
understanding that people might do that).
So either you somehow installed a 32 bit kernel, or you have an LPAR or
something else restricting your memory size.
