No, if the kernel doesn't recognizes the RAM on board, then this is due to
some bug in the BIOS, which can't tell the kernel the right amount of RAM
(>64MB) installed (or something like that, AFAIK). This is the only you
can do (on my ThinkPad I have to do the same in order to get my 96MB
recognized).
