RP4440 - Failed to initialize with ENTRY_INIT Status = -5

I am attempting to ignite an RP4440 with an ignite tape created using Ignite C6.6.93,, the tape will load using same tape drive (LTO II) on a different HP server ( N4000)with no issues.

Right after entering : bo p6
i get the following..
Booting...
Failed to initialize with ENTRY_INIT Status =-5
fffffffb 2 0 0

...failed

Gary,
according to this:
"DocId: DFQKBCA00000112"
http://www5.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000080256096

"-5 Unrecoverable data error.
ENTRY_INIT encountered an error while transferring data to/from the target controller or device"

Could be the disk.

cant be the disk..it hasnt even got that far yet, it didnt even get to reading the tape. and the tape, and tape drive work on a different server.
I did boot the server with the primary boot disk,, and was able to tar (read and write ) to the tape drive, using the same scsi card,
so im pretty sure the scsi is ok too ????
