Boot problems on rx2600

[Arunkumar_3]

Hi,
I am seeing "Loading device drivers" message when I reboot my rx2600 system. I have A6826A HBA cards, I thought the problem is because of those, and removed the FC cables and tried to reboot. Didn't work. I powered off and powered on, no use.

I saw the following error messages in console output
*****

Did you just remove the fibre cables and not the cards? To fully check the hardware you would need to physically remove the cards.

I have two hba cards. I removed one. Still problem persist. Ok. I will remove another card and try.

Hi Arun,

If you have hardware support call HP and log a hardware call.
