Installing HP-UX + SUPERDOME

>> I do sure the DVDROM and The DVDROM don't have any problem...

Sure?

I have already seen the same scenario with a bent pin in the cable that connects the DVD - check please!

The drive was detected, but during boot not found.

Hi Alastair
I got this Error

Did you check the cable already?

[CowBoy]

Hi Trolsten
Yeah I checked the cable before!!!

[Torsten.]

As said above, I have seen exactly the same - the cable was the culprit!

Sometimes 2 pins get in the same hole, this is really hard to see.


BTW, is your DVD drive a HP product?

[Alastair Donaldson]

Looks like you can see the DVD OK.
Case does not matter at the EFI prompt, also the .EFI is optional try just typing it without the .efi extension.
fs0:\efi\boot\bootia64

If the DVD drive is an external drive also check the SCSI terminator on the drive. As Torsten says they can cause all sorts of havoc on a SCSI bus.

Again nothing buddy

It's weird since the system obviously sees the DVD and can see the file when you do an ls command.
Do you happen to have another copy of HP-UX that you can try in the drive? maybe the media is having a problem. Just a guess at this point.

[CowBoy]

I'll test that and give you the resy=ult..
