I run a new install for my servers from a floppy that boots to the network and uses the unattend.txt to load my OS. When trying to do this with a DELL PowerEdge 2650, I get an error that says "There is not enought memory available". This floppy works for all of my other machines (except for the nic driver which I switch for the proper card). It seems that the memory is not being put into extended memory. Does anyone have any ideas for my problem? Here is my config.sys and autoexec.bat files: CONFIG.SYS device=a:\dos\himem.sys REM device=a:\dos\emm386.exe FRAME=NONE DOS=HIGH,auto,umb FILES=30 BUFFERS=20 LASTDRIVE=Z STACKS=9,256 devicehigh=a:\smartdrv.exe /DOUBLE_BUFFER SHELL=A:\COMMAND.COM A:\ /E:512 /P devicehigh=a:\NET\ifshlp.sys AUTOEXEC.BAT @echo off prompt $p$g SET PATH=a:\NET;A:\dos a:\NET\net initialize loadhigh a:\NET\netbind.com rem lh a:\NET\umb.com loadhigh a:\NET\tcptsr.exe loadhigh a:\NET\tinyrfc.exe rem lh a:\NET\nmtsr.exe rem lh a:\NET\emsbfr.exe a:\NET\net start loadhigh a:\smartdrv c+ /v

Ugh.. is there a reason the EMM386 line is REM 'ed out? It would prevent anything from being loaded High and cause out of memory problems trying to load the network code. Also, have you checked the space available in the UMB area on these machines. With a video card, a network card and two segments of POST/BIOS code, there may not be much space in the UMB area and everything is being loaded low. Try using the MEM /d command to see what is being loaded where on these machines. You might have to REM out the SmartDrive lines and live with a slower install.
