https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/failed-to-initialize/m-p/2784595#M78108 Hi,<BR /><BR />Check for the SCSI terminators and loose connections in cables. I think that that will solve your problem.<BR /><BR />Piyush Mon, 12 Aug 2002 21:57:25 GMT PIYUSH D.

It dumps the <BR />registers and also throws in a "-4" error for good message.<BR />Whats a good plan of attack here. I cannot even boot from the CDROM device with the 11.00 install media.<BR />MODEL C110<BR />Thanks,<BR />Randy<BR /> Mon, 12 Aug 2002 21:16:37 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/failed-to-initialize/m-p/2784593#M78106 Randy_9 2002-08-12T21:16:37Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/failed-to-initialize/m-p/2784594#M78107 Hi Randy:<BR /><BR />I assume the '-4' is ENTRY_INIT's status. In that case, a value of '-4' points to the boot path as a possible problem. Since you are experiencing the problem both for a CDROM drive as well as from an internal drive, check cables and SCSI terminators for tight seating.<BR /><BR />Regards!<BR /><BR />...JRF...
