Tom1980 -> OSD PE Boot: not enough memory (7/1/2008 1:23:01 PM)

Hi guys!

We have some clients with 256 and 512 MB memory. I know that this is absolutly not state-of-the-art, but enough for running small apps.
If I want to install them with SCCM, everything works correct, until PE loads.

Error Message in PE Environment: "Not enough memory"

Is there a workaround or something.

thanks!

It really depends on the size of your PE WIM.  I have successfully done a lite touch deployment to a system with 512, but I think 256 is just out of the question.

If the PE WIM is 160 Mb and that gets loaded into RAM, there isn't enough available RAM to run all of the scripts and processes required for the dpeloyment.

Yeah, Microsoft says that the client machine needs 384 MBs if doing OSD. Not sure if you can get around this by doing an advertisement to an existing client or not...

Alright guys! Thankyou for your help.
I'll have to check if I can remove some old drivers from the boot image.



Tom1980 -> RE: OSD PE Boot: not enough memory (7/2/2008 6:52:07 AM)

Something strange:

my boot image size is 320MB.
But I still get the error on a computer with 512 MB mem.

I assume that there are no logs I can check.....

Hi Tom,
With 512MB RAM you should be fine, I've had unending issues with less than that though and if you're trying to use the MDT task sequences, by design they will bomb out on anything less than 512MB RAM (the scripting engine needs quite a lot of RAM on top of PE's requirements).

The PE process logs to X:\Windows\Temp initially, so it is possible that there's a log here (X: is the ramdrive) other than that, there's probably not much to go on.

I'd be interested to know if this happens consistently, I certainly see the odd machine have problems booting a RAM disk which normally turns out to be a RAM hardware problem...

Hi
Seems that even though you have 512 mb, you still can have a memory problem when your video driver 'shares' this memory...



bluzier -> RE: OSD PE Boot: not enough memory (7/9/2008 12:34:52 PM)

We ran into this issue as well.  It's the Vista PE that requires 512MB of available memory.  If you video is sharing, then you're out of luck.
