Does it all appear in the e820 map?  If not, then the chipset is 
probably masking it; check to see if there's any likely-looking BIOS 
options to make it appear.

I assume you're compiling for either 32-bit PAE or 64-bit.  If you're 
compiling 32-bit without PAE (HIGHMEM64G) then the remaining Gbyte may 
simply be above 4G and out of the kernel's reach.
