firmware 17.009 (RP8400)

[Gary_186]

We recently had our RP8400 server's firmware level upgraded to 17.009, Since then we are having problems igniting the box with certain HP-UX 11.11 o/s's. I can successfully ignite using HPUX 11.11 Sept 2005, but nothing lower. Does that firmware leave some 11.11 o/s 's unrecoverable ?
thanks
Gary

17.009 is the PDC version of firmware bundle 6.4 and 6.5.
Post a full
MP:CM> sysrev
to get the version sorted.

Can't imagine that PDC directly influence ignite that way ...

How about your ignite version?

re: ignite . I upgraded ignite on an RP7420 to C.6.3.xx HP-UX11.11 then successsfully ignited the RP8400 (problem server), but got the same 'panic error' upon final boot.

here is the response to the sysdev
