What specific models of RAM kits are they?

First thing is first.
Make sure that your 2gb sticks and your 4gb sticks are all the same generation (i.e. DDR2, DDR3, etc.) They will not work together if they are different generations.

Second thing is to make sure that the 4gb and 2gb sticks are rated for running at the same voltage.

Make sure that your 2x4gb kit is in dual channel slots, and 2x2gb is in the other dual channel slots.

Perform a cmos reset.

If it doesn't work then it doesn't work and the only thing you can do to get more RAM is to buy a proper kit of RAM with more capacity.

Mixing RAM is a gamble. There's no guarantee it'll work, and if it does initially work there is no guarantee that it'll work properly and no guarantee for how long it'll work.

That is why you don't bother mixing RAM and also why they are sold in kits.
