Re: rx2660 OpenVMS USB DVD ROM Drive
I'd wonder if this was flaky hardware, for instance, or a bad distro disk.
Mind posting a pointer to the previous post discussing a mount verification loop? A search of ITRC via Google turns up nothing obvious.
The external USB path might or might not work, depending on the particular USB DVD widget. The internal DVD drive *should* work.

Re: rx2660 OpenVMS USB DVD ROM Drive
This consultant would advise you to tell your consultant to apply VMS83I_RX2660-V0100 or later and a small herd of ECO kits indicated below, and try again.
The base distro looks like it won't boot this box without an ECO kit. You'll have to remaster it yourself with the ECO kit applied, or load the distro onto a disk, apply the ECO, and boot that disk.

For information on remastering bootable disks, see http://64.223.189.234/node/28

Re: rx2660 OpenVMS USB DVD ROM Drive
I tried my V8.3 DVD kit on a rx2660 internal DVD - and it booted and installed just fine.
Doesn't help you much, but at least this consultant knows it works here!
Maybe there's some firmware issues or a configuration issue with the rx2660 itself?
Can you list the devices and drivers on the console at EFI level, along with the available FSn: devices? There may be a small but important difference betwen your machine and the one I have here.
I'll try to find time to do something similar and post the results.

Re: rx2660 OpenVMS USB DVD ROM Drive
If the latest doesn't work i will need to try "slip streaming" the patches into a new install media, or load from my 2620. I'll respond with results as soon as i get the new media!
Thanks,
Larry

Re: rx2660 OpenVMS USB DVD ROM Drive
The process of taking an existing release and applying changes and/or ECOs would be what was classically known as "remastering".
Interesting.

Re: rx2660 OpenVMS USB DVD ROM Drive
Yes I believe there is media dated feb 2007 vs. The july 2006 media i currently have, and yes I meant remastering the boot media.

Re: rx2660 OpenVMS USB DVD ROM Drive
I'm using media dated July 2006 (label I64083) and it boots & installs just fine on the rx2660 here, including on a built-in SAS controller RAID mirrored pair of discs.
