rp8400 boot failure

[Darren Lauser_2]

Hello,

This rp8400 boots perfectly well with HP-UX 11.23. No matter what I try, it won't boot on 11.11.

I have tried two versions (C.6.8.152 and C.6.9.150) of Ignite (CD boot with remote install, "lan install" and "boot client"), several versions of install CDs, and an OS built on another system (rp7400).

When I boot on an 11.23 WINSTALL ignite won't allow me to install 11.11.

Is there something that could be wrong with the hardware that could cause this?

When I attempt to boot from 11.11 it finds the kernel and starts to boot, sits there for over 20 minutes, then says:
"PC-offset Stack Trace (read across, top of stack is 1st):
End Of Stack"

Then it reboots.

The PDC firmware is at 17.008.

Here is an example:
=============================================
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > bo lan install

BCH Directed Boot Path: 0/0/0/1/0.0.0.0.0

It was incompatible hardware in one of the PCI slots.
