Public bug reported:

this happends on a Lenovo Zhaoyang E49L which have a 2GB memory, its
BIOS support UEFI boot and Legacy boot.

First, I tried using UEFI boot to install Ubuntu 12.04, when the
installation finished,  the memory size is about 1.7G, this is right,
others was taken by the Intel HD Graphics as graphics memory.

But when I try using Legacy boot to install Ubuntu 12.04, when the
installation finished, the memory size is only about 1G, the output of
free command is:

user@user-Zhaoyang-E49L:~$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        977176     835136     142040          0      10348     363412

Swap:      1076220     247480     828740

I changed kernel to 3.7 and 3.8, and I also tested latest Ubuntu 13.04
develop version, both have this issue.
