I've run all the diagnostics tests, which show no issues, and have updated the firmware to the latest version. I'm also unable to run the EFI shell - it just enumerates the disks & partitions and then hangs.
I'm suspecting a hardware failure, but don't have enough familiarity with these systems to be sure. Any suggestions?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: rx2600 boot failure
Disconnect all external cables and run "reconnect -r" and "map -r" from EFI.
Does this work?
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

SolutionIf this doesn't work, pull out the internal disks. If still doesn't work, remove PCI cards.
Hope this helps!

Re: rx2600 boot failure
So that looks like partition/filesystem corruption. Is there anything I can do from the EFI shell to check for either of these? Or do you think there's something else wrong?

Re: rx2600 boot failure
Insert one disk at a time and try to run the "reconnect -r" "map -r" again.
Does it hang with one of the disks?
If not, post the result of "map -r".
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

So the disk's kaput?
And, yes - the firmware is up to date. I had to do the first couple via the MP (it was on 02.10) and then the final update was from CD.

Try
Shell> fs1:
fs1:\> cd efi
fs1:\EFI> cd hpux
fs1:\EFI\HPUX> hpux
Does it boot?
Hope this helps!

Re: rx2600 boot failure
Must say that I'm not impressed that the EFI system tries to read (all?) FAT32 partitions and hangs if it fails - I'd expect it to just produce a warning/error and move on.
Anyway, many thanks for helping me track this one down.
