HPUX Console not responding at all

[Boon khiang Sim]

Hi,
Can anyone out there help me? I am facing HP-UX R-380 console problem. When I bootup using CD-ROM, it prompt me a selection screen and from that time onwords, I was unable to key in anything to the console.

But before I reach the console part, I am able to interact with the Main menu, look at all the configuration and etc.

When I enter: BO P1(cd-rom path)
Interact with IPL? n

After this step, totally I cannot key in anything at when the screen prompt me for an input.

Thks

Don't know what terminal you using for but still try for this:

1. Go to Terminal configuration menu.
May be by pressing F8 or F10 or F12

2. You will see 8 TAB at the bottom of the screen.

3. See whether you see * on the fourth TAB called Remote. If you don't see that press F4 to select it and you will see the *.

4. Come out of confguration menu by selceting exit and see if it works.

Hope this helps you.
All the best

You can reset the terminal by holding down the D key when you power it on.

I have tried Ctrl -Q, F6, F8 F12 and still nothing happen. Sorry if I have not made myself clear. I use a console serial cable and connect it to my laptop. I look at the console using Hyper terminal.

does that cause a problem?

Yes, the problem could be the terminal configuration.

May be something messed up in Hpterm properties.

Try creating another Hyper terminal interface.

Use this setting:
Bits per Sec:9600
Data Bits:8
Parity:none
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control:none

Hope this helps.

Yap, managed to get it work. Every configuration is correct except for my flow control which I set to Hardware.

Thanks Bharat Katkar :)

I was about to ask if you had the A4450A graphics card installed, but since it is working, that wouldn't be an issue.

Ted, perhaps you have mistaken thread ?
