Only seeing 3GB of RAM on Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty when 4GB are installed? [SOLUTION]

I've been using Ubuntu Linux for a number of versions now. My Dell system has 4GB of memory (as verified by checking the BIOS at boot time) but after one of the upgrades it started to report that it could only see 3GB.

$ free

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

Mem:       3106764    2960304     146460          0     129636    1046552

-/+ buffers/cache:    1784116    1322648

Swap:            0          0          0
