I don't know what CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE is however are you sure you are
missing 2GB? or do you just not understand that hard disk are measured in
units of 1,000 and Memory in units of 1,024?

For example a 40 GB disk is

40*1000*1000*1000 bytes
40000000000/1024/1024/1024

Will show as a 37.25 GiB, could this be the source of the missing space?
