NOVELL 386 WITH AST DESK TOP AND TOWER SYSTEMS
The following problems are occurring with AST Cupid desktop and Cupid Tower
systems configured with more than 16MB of RAM with Novell Netware 386 version
3.10:
- System will lock up after attempting to mount the drives
- Intermittent memory parity errors occur
- Intermittent lock-ups occur
The above problems occur because the Novell operating system has not been
made aware of any memory above 16MB. This problem can be resolved by
registering the memory with the Novell operating system so that it knows how
to access the memory. To accomplish this, edit the AUTOEXEC.NCF file within
the Novell install option as follows:
REGISTER MEMORY [START(hex)] [LENGTH(hex)].
Using the chart below replace the [START(hex)] and [LENGTH(hex)] with the
appropriate parameter.
