I had the same problem with the same distro. My solution was
in the bios settings for RAM. I was upgrading from 16Mb to
48Mb and linux didn't see it. It had me puzzled for a bit
until I booted Windoze (which i'm happy to say, no longer exists for me)
and it didn't see the added memory either.
Check your bios settings.
