rx 1620 refuse to start

[Musa I. S.]

Kindly help with tips on how to bring the rx 1620 system up. The issue has to do with selecting the right boot option. The system doesnt have an MP so i guess it has to be thru serial.

What status do you currently have?

Connect a terminal (PC that runs putty - use a null modem cable to connect).

Go to EFI shell and run these commands, post results:

Shell> bcfg dump boot
Shell> reconnect -r
Shell> map -r

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

Difficult to read because of all the garbage.

You should sort the boot entries and move "hpux" from the end of the list to the beginning.

Does it work if you manually select "hpux".

You can also go to Shell and do

Shell> fs0:

fs0:\> cd efi

fs0:\EFI> cd hpux

fs0:\EFI\HPUX> hpux

[Torsten.]

see

http://docs.hp.com/en/AB430-96005/ch04s04.html

and scroll down to

Change Boot Order

[Musa I. S.]

I had to add the hpux manually to the boot menu. this happens whenever the system goes off. Isn't there a way to resolve this once and for all.

[Torsten.]

Did you select the

"Save Settings to NVRAM"

entry?

[Musa I. S.]

Yes I did. But the hpux is the last option, so i have to change it.

[Torsten.]

Currently your system will start the EFI shell by default (first entry).

Did you bring "hpux" to the first position?
(see link above)

After this, save the settings again.

Thanks again. I'm up and running.
