Itanium-2 bootable dvd creation/use

Daniel Denney — Sat, 03 Jun 2006 10:21:53 GMT

Has anyone encountered a problem booting from a dvd created using dvd+rw-tools on an itanium system? It works fine on a PA-RISC system, but is not recognized as a boot disc when created on an itanium system. I already referenced the papers on docs.hp.com and made sure that all of the itanium only parameters were correct (lif image, etc).

Shalom Daniel,

I've created bootable dvd's for PA-RISC and Itanium systmes (we have few) and had no problems.

I can't boot an Itanium off a boot dvd created for PA-RISC, nor would I expect to be able to do do this.

Can you share you creation method and error message?

Shalom Steven,

I wrote and used the attached script. I wrote it for PA-RISC and used it a number of times. It always worked. I modified it for IA64 but it has never worked. It produces no errors during the execution. When I try to boot from the resultant dvd, it tells me there is not bootable media in the dvd reader. Maybe I missed something during the modification for IA64.

Thanks,

Daniel
