You don't need to be a "kernel-guru" to answer this question.
The list of kernel boot parameters is in
linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
There, you can find:
mem=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT] force use of a specific amount of
memory; to be used when the kernel is not able
to see the whole system memory or for test.
So append mem=512M in your kernel command line. If you use lilo add
append = "mem=512M" in your lilo.conf file (and rerun lilo).
