Hi Ann Kok,

Yes. I have 2G physical memory

the kernel verion is 2.4.27-2-386

Once I had the same problem with kernel: 2.6.18-4-486
        After I upgraded the kernel to 
2.6.18-5-686 I could use 2Gb.
           
I was told that "There were no 486 machines with more than a GB of RAM,
and those CPUs probably don't have the features needed by HIGHMEM".
So obviously your 
2.4.27-2-386 kernel has the same problem. But to be
honest, I don't know if you can use a 686 kernel on a 386 machine.
