Load of cdrom failed: Not found

[GnanaShekar]

Hi,

We have a couple of HP rx2600, Itanium server in the lab.
We cannot boot from a windows 2003 cd. I get the following error, when I select cdrom from the efi boot menu.

Loading: cdrom
Load of cdrom failed: Not found
Paused - press any key to continue.

Please susggest.
Thanks & Regards,

Just to confirm, it is an ia64 cd with the efi modifications made, right?

1. Check the file system mapping first to see if you can see any FS for the CDROM something like below.

fs1 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM(Entry1)
blk5 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM(Entry1)

If you see the only block device for ATA interface, try EFI command "reconnect -r". Or keep the CD media installed in the DVD drive and reset the system.

blk4 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)

If you could resolve the problem, please let us know how you resolved it.

Hello Gurus,

I have more lees problem,

I was installing RHEL 3 but I interrupted the installation, but when I restart the Itanium server, I did not find the Cdrom device.

I use reconect -r and restart a lot of times the servers. Could you give me information How I should to proceed%

fs0 : Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(1|1)/Scsi(Pun2,Lun0)/HD(Part1,Sig1D5620E7-FDA6-452E-B57C-1226D9BAE295)

[kris rombauts]

when you run the map -r or reconnect -r command, do you have any cd media loaded in the drive ?

EFI can only recognize FAt and FAT32 filesystems, so you need a special cd/dvd with dual partitioning on it like a Windows, LInux or HP-UX install cd or special cd's to setup/configure the Itanium based servers like SmartSetup for Windows or Linux.

Yes,
I have a cd1 RHEL 3 (itanium).

4 four ago, I was reinstalling my server, but I interrupted the installation (wron FS), after that, I can see the cdrom from EFI Shell.

I have used map -r and reconnect -r with the cd1 loaded.

This server is in other location.

Thanks

Dear,

Thanks for all... I am going to wait until tomorrow, because I dont have personal in the other site and I am thinking that cd1 was ejected.

Then, I will wait for any response.

Thanks so much.
