Ignite kernel (INSTALL/VINSTALL/WINSTALL) versus normal kernel (vmunix)
If I try and boot from an Ignite 'bootable' tape, it hangs loading the kernel. If I create my own bootlif, copying (from Ignites version) WINSTALLFS, HPUX, ISL, AUTO (amended slightly), but replacing WINSTALL with /stand/vmunix, the kernel loads OK, but fails as soon as it tries to activate the root VG. I've already raised a thread to work out why the Ignite 'bootable' tape doesn't actually boot, but I curious as to why the 'real' kernel gets further.

Re: Ignite kernel (INSTALL/VINSTALL/WINSTALL) versus normal kernel (vmunix)
INSTALL = Install on a 32-bit only machine
WINSTALL = Install on a 64-bit machine
VINSTALL = Install on a V-series server.
What type of machine are you trying to boot this tape on? It is possible that the WINSTALL kernel is not compatible with this machine.

Re: Ignite kernel (INSTALL/VINSTALL/WINSTALL) versus normal kernel (vmunix)
I tried firstly to make_tape_recovery, which appeared to work (no errors). then I tried make_boot_tape which again appeared to work (no errors). But neither get past the kernel loading stage. When booting, the AUTO file points to INSTALL, but WINSTALL appears on the completed line. As far as I understand, WINSTALL is the correct kernel for this type of machine. All three Ignite kernels are larger than the real kernel.

Re: Ignite kernel (INSTALL/VINSTALL/WINSTALL) versus normal kernel (vmunix)
vmunix is the name of the kernel on all systems. Whereas INSTALL/VINSTALL/WINSTALL is the name of the ignite-ux kernel that is used for installation on different architectures.
Maybe this link from itrc would help,
http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000064128875
the itrc doc id is KBRC00007035.
Hope this helps.

Re: Ignite kernel (INSTALL/VINSTALL/WINSTALL) versus normal kernel (vmunix)
I am interested in persuing the thought that the WINSTALL generic keren isn't as generic as it might be.
What I am also interested in is what is the difference between the generic Ignite kernel and the specific vmunix kernel from the B1000, in particular why the generic Ignote kenel seems to be capable of booting using a RAM FS (allegedly), whereas the vmunix kernel insists on trying to activate the root VG even though it was loaded from a tape with a RAM FS on it.

I've lifls'd the Ignite 'bootable tape, see attached text file (to preserve formatting). Note this tape is as a result of running make_boot_tape.
Also swlist for Ignite gives
