SYMPTOMS
Due to a difference in line parsing between the DEVICE and DEVICEHIGH
commands you may receive one of the following error messages when the
IBM network device driver, DXMC0MOD.SYS, loads:
Invalid shared RAM address
Invalid early token ring release
After these error messages are displayed, the DXMC0MOD.SYS device
driver does not load and the network fails to start. This occurs most
often after MemMaker has been used, and DEVICE commands have been
changed to DEVICEHIGH.
CAUSE
This problem is caused by the manner in which DEVICEHIGH parses
command lines. The DXMC0MOD.SYS device driver does not correctly
interpret the DEVICEHIGH parameter information.
WORKAROUND
To enable your network to start and avoid these error messages, make
sure enough commas are used in the DXMC0MOD.SYS statement to act as
delimiters for the three optional parameters required by DXMC0MOD.SYS.
For example, each of the following lines cause error messages to be
displayed:
DEVICEHIGH=C:\LSP\DXMC0MOD.SYS 400000000001
DEVICEHIGH=C:\LSP\DXMC0MOD.SYS 400000000001,D800
DEVICEHIGH=C:\LSP\DXMC0MOD.SYS ,D800
To avoid these errors, change each line to the following:
DEVICEHIGH=C:\LSP\DXMC0MOD.SYS 400000000001,,
DEVICEHIGH=C:\LSP\DXMC0MOD.SYS 400000000001,D800,
DEVICEHIGH=C:\LSP\DXMC0MOD.SYS ,D800,
