Re: Can't Boot tru64 server [boot failure] can't open osf_boot halt code=5

Hi

 

I know the original query was posted in Feb and it is April now .  Better late than never

 

I hope DKA100 is boot disk - it is 36 GB Local SCSI disk - Normally DKA0 is boot device - hence this confirmation

 

if DKA100 is correct - clearly, it is unable to load kernel - it is corrupted.  Try booting through CD/DVD - DQA0 and then restore back up / load OS

 

you may also attempt >>> B DKA0

 

With regards

Srikanth BK

Re: Can't Boot tru64 server [boot failure] can't open osf_boot halt code=5

search of the HP support center knowledge base for "osf_boot" yeilds a few answers, of note:
Tru64, V5.1X - Howto: restoring osf_bootISSUE: System will not boot: "Cannot open osf_boot".
V5.X
This example assumes no LSM, no RAID, and a standalone system.
SOLUTION: Common causes:
1.The osf_boot file may be missing, or corrupt(from a running V5.1 system).
# ls -al /osf_boot -rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 102496 Nov 28 12:21 /osf_boot
2.Is this the correct disk, it may be the wrong disk, maybe non-bootable ?
## Check BOOTDEF_DEV console variable.
3.Boot blocks for this disk have been destroyed, or corrupted.
4.Primary and Secondary bootstraps may be the wrong type( UFS vs. ADVFS).
## Check disklabel.
5.Possible filesystem corruption in root_domain.
## Run fixfdmn, or verify on root_domain.

6.Possible hardware problems
