PXE - E85a Error
Updated: 24 May 2010 | 9 comments
To the Altiris GODS,
I am trying to image a HP 6530b laptop with Vista
When the laptop boots to PXE I get the following Error.
PXE - E85a: Too Manu Memory Segments.
I have already tried to replace the DOSStd.0 file to no avail.
Please help, this laptop is the first of many to be received and I need to be able to make images.
Thanks
Clintb

Hi
I have the exact same trouble with the same model of laptop, "Too many memory segments". Restarted services etc to no avail. Any people who can help with this would be appreciated. The KB article on this refers to a problem with 6.1 that was fixed in 6.5 and onwards.
there are a couple kb articles out there on this.
this should be the one to follow.

make sure you regenerate your boot file.

Thanks Jack for the reply,
I have already tried this but to no avail.
Is there anything else I can do? I am expecting about 100 of these laptops coming in very soon and I will need to image them.
Thanks

I have the exact same problem and tried what the Article 43222 is saying. It's a new Lenovo W500 laptop with Intel 82567LM Gigabit Network card.
I have DS 6.5 and there's no option to regenerate boot images in the PXE Configuration Utility, but I did delete and recreate the PXE images.
Please let us know!
Thanks!
Jonathan
the KB article above that i used applies to Deployment Server 6.9
I would consider upgrading to at least 6.9- if you have a lab enviornment i would do it in their first.

OK I got it to work. I followed the instructions in the Article 43222 and in addition I replace also the other DOSStd.0 file located in the express share in the following subdirectory:
PXE\MasterImages\DotZero\DOSStd.0
I deleted and recreated the Boot Images (in my case the Intel UNDI) and it worked like a charm!
Hope this will help "clintb" and others that will have this issue.
Thanks!

Thanks Jonathan99,
Still same error, I am doing all the steps you talked about, I deleted the boot image (which is DOS), recreated it, and still getting same error.
The OS I am trying to image is Vista if that matters?
Thanks

I can confirm that the DOSStd.0 trick worked for version 6.8 SP2 as well.
rgds.
I had exactly the same issue with a IBM / Lenovo ThinkPad R500
The AKB 43222 fixed my problem!
Note: just to be absolutely sure, I've re-created all my DOS bootdisks, including the redirected one's.
