By default Debian etch 32bit allows a maximum of 4 GB RAM. The limit can be raised up to 64 GB with a single apt-get command / kerenl update:
apt-get install linux-image-2.6-686-bigmem
That’s it, reboot your system and you will be able to install up to 64GB of RAM to your system.

Hello samrat
I have tested this with a few boxes and never had any hardware issues.
What type of network card is installed? Could you post the output of “ifconfig -a” ?
