Q.
I'm installing NetWare 6 on a new system. The last thing I see on the screen is:
PVER500.NLM [OK]
then the system starts the Loading... process all over again. The hardware I am using is as follows:
Intel SDS2 Motherboard
1GB Ram
2 PIII 1.26Ghz processors
2 U160 SCSI drives
IDE CD-ROM
Why do I keep restarting the loading process?

Dear Looping: The root cause of this behavior is NetWare 6 is unmapping areas in memory at the beginning of NetWare boot as a security measure that are also in use by the system's BIOS. This issue seems to be restricted to this particular motherboard.
This problem can best be dealt with by putting the SERVER.EXE file that comes with the NetWare 6 Service Pack 1 (NW6SP1) in the NWUPDATE directory of the DOS boot partition.
