The memory parameter in grub cannot make the kernel see more memory than it is capable of supporting. Your kernel, 2.6.8-2-386, is the stock 'i386' Sarge kernel which won't support >1GB RAM. Try the stock 686 kernel instead: apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 Dave. -- Please don't CC me on list messages! ...
