If you've got 40 Meg in your system, but 'free' only reports 32 Meg, it's a problem between your BIOS, syslinux (the boot-loader), and the linux kernel. There are several points at which things can break, which sounds like what is happening in your case. If for some reason you really want to access that extra 8 Meg (not really necessary, unless you're running a lot of "extras"), check standard linux documentation and howto sites for debugging info. If all else fails, and you can't get automatic detection of memory size working properly, you can pass the kernel a parameter to force the memory size to 40 Megs (I don't recall off-hand what kernel parameter to set, but it should turn up in a quick search).
