Well I watched as the machine boots with 128meg installed.
The mem check knows it there and says its ok.
Highmem.sys knows its there and ok
Novell seems to be the odd man out here.
Added the register memory to the autoexec.ncf today and
rebooted the machine. Novell still will only report 64meg.
Very strange. Guess I'll have to call them on this one..
Im sure its something simple but cant get a finger on it.

Now that you mention it i do remember that from the books.
Thanks for the ideas and input....
