I got hold of the toshiba A350 again. I tried ubuntu 9.10 64bit. After I installed it I removed 2GB RAM. It works! Great, what a relief!
Since linux is so nice to me I can live with 2GB at the moment. I still think the reason for the 4GB RAM problem is the driver itself. It is not able to live within this amount of RAM. Maybe the driver is not able to cope with addresses out of 32 bit range. What do you think? I can imagine that people often develop drivers for 32 bit to keep it compatible to 32bit architectures.
by the way, I used the wubi.exe installer
