HP RX5670 EFI Boot Menu

[axlr8fullrpm]

I have a problem on my rx5670 machine, when i restored the configuration to default, the internal DVD drive is not available on the EFI Boot Menu, only EFI Shell and Confiration menus are available, i tried to run the command reconnect -r and map -r but still unsuccessful. Please help because i need to boot from CD.

Somewhere in the rom-based configuration utility (advanced section?) there is a switch to enable/disable the IDE adapter.
Enable it and reset system, it should detect the dvd, you may also have to configure the boot menu using explore.

Hi Phil,

The DVD Drive of RX5670 is connected to a 50pin SCSI Bus.

It *could* be a problem with the drives firmware. Did you try to cycle power?

[Phil.Howell]

can you get into the scsi config before efi is loaded?
(hit F8 or something else?)

Prior to resetting to default the Internal DVD is present on the EFI Boot Menu. the only thing i did is reset to default.

What happens when you enter "info io", or "devtree", or "map" in the efi shell?

When i run MAP only Device Mapping Table shows but no entries, but info io and devtree display the devices but i cant locate the DVD device.
