[RndTbl] Debian doesn't see all RAM in a VM

[Sean Cody]

Can you post a dmesg?
That would help lots.

I'm assuming the machine's POST mem test gets to 2048 right?

4GB has issues on some architectures (memory hole due to address space layout) but 2GB sounds odd and I would need more detail to even guess.
