Doesn't look like a bootable DVD to me.

What showed up when you ran:

sea ipl

from the BCH prompt?

Did you run "sea" only or "sea ipl"?

What CD/DVD is it (read the label)?

[Duncan Edmonstone]

well in this case p1 is definately *not* a DVD drive - a sequential access device is a tape drive. A DVD will show up as a random access device, so possibly your DVD is p0.

BTW, sequential access devices are TAPES, disks and CD/DVD drives are random access devices!

Hi Logesh,

Please Try to boot from P0 Random Access device.
boot p0

Hi Logesh,

Try to boot with any other set of dvd's, if you have !

then also it is not working means your dvdrom is faulty.

1. Check your hardware path, as the device you're booting from doesn't look like it's your DVD.

2. If it is your DVD, then the drive appears to be bad, or the disk that's in it is either defective or upside down.. whatever as the disk can't be read....

3. Clean the DVD disk with some water and dry it off and try it again.... You may have a bunch of fingerprint smears or other other contaminants on it...
