This is stnadard behavior... read the readme's :-)
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/memory.txt:
4) Linux will not currently detect above 64M of RAM,
regardless of how much memory is actually installed.
All of these problems can be addressed with the "mem=XXXM" boot option
(where XXX is the size of RAM to use in megabytes). Adding this boot
option to your boot loader can help Linux see more than 64M. It can also
tell Linux to use less memory than is actually installed.
So add this in your /etc/lilo.conf:
append="mem=128M"
