Error Msgs when installing OS from CD

I'm not sure if I need to enter a new message for additional questions. This is my first time using this forum. Anyway, I work with an HP9000 800 K220 with HPUX 10.20.. I have been working with HP phone support. They are baffled about my problem. I did install the OS from CD and when I tried to use the autoloader or even the CD Rom now neither work. FYI, I noticed that the device file names were different and the hardware path. Ex.: my CD was c5t2d0 HWPath 10/12/5.2.0 and is now c4t2d0 HWP 10/12/5.0. Do you know if this would cause an I/O error? HP has had me recreate the files several times with no luck. I have nothing to lose, so I'm reinstalling the OS using BO ALT (path) 10/12/5.2 ISL IPL Interact (No) and I received an error of error reading IPL. Bad LIF Magic. I tried again using BO ALT 10/12/5.0 ISL and received an error of cannot find ENTRY_TEST. Fail to initialize. I'm in panic mode now. With HP's help yesterday they think it might be a hardware problem. I'm waiting on a new autoloader with controller card. Any help, suggestions or other contacts would be greatly appreciated. Even on site consultant help. Thanks Robin

Thank you. The link you gave me did help determine it is a -4 Unrecoverable Hardware Error. It just seems coincidental that the primary boot drive went bad and then the autoloader and the CD-Rom. (New Machine!)
Thanks again. Robin
