Determining the Amount of Memory
154 Utilities Reference
An incorrect hexadecimal value was specified for start address or
amount.
The amount value exceeds the total installed memory. Use the setup
or reference diskette that came with the computer to determine the
total amount of installed memory.
NOTE:
You must avoid memory address conflicts. A conflict occurs if an adapter
board uses 16- or 24-bit DMA or Bus-Master DMA.
To resolve this conflict, upgrade to 32-bit bus adapters or use drivers that are
modified and certified to compensate for memory-addressing limitations. Or use
the machine's configuration program to move system memory around the adapter
if the program allows.
In some cases, the ISA (16-bit) host adapter driver must be loaded in
memory below 16 MB. To do so, add the following to the startup.ncf file:
LOAD disk_driver
REGISTER MEMORY amount of memory to add
For more information, consult the driver documentation.
The following table lists common start address and amount values for standard
computers.
In the table, total memory = start address + amount of memory to add.
