Is your system actually showing a ceiling of about 906MB?  If so, then
your kernel is only compiled for <1GB systems.  If you have a recent,
Pentium-style processor then using any stock 686 kernel should have
support for >1GB RAM included.

If the above doesn't help, please post us the output of 'uname -a'
