Kernel Memory Split

Hi all,
I'm building kernel26-lex from aur with custom config file. But I have a problem with Kernel memory split option. Now I have 1GB lowmem (3G/1G user/kernel split) and High memory support off. Everything works fine but when i run free -m

[archon@archon-netbook ~]$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          1134        796        338          0        193        287
-/+ buffers/cache:        315        819
Swap:         2047          0       2047

It prints I have only 1134mb ram available. Is that normal? Because I have 2gb phisically in my netbook and with a standard arch kernel it showed me proper values. Thanks in advance:)

Re: Kernel Memory Split

To be able to use 2gb RAM, you need CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
