The file readme.txt has the following to say:
3.3 Problems Loading into the Upper Memory Area
-----------------------------------------------
Some computers with hard disk controllers, specifically bus
master DMA controllers, may not be able to load device drivers
or programs into the upper memory area. Try adding a
DEVICE=SMARTDRV.SYS command before any DEVICEHIGH commands in
your CONFIG.SYS file.
=================================================================
I highly recommend this little file. It had a lot of useful
information if you are having problems with DOS 5.0.
