Hi
Ignite server is running 11.11 and Ignite-UX B.5.4.50.
I'm trying to lan install HP-UX 11.23PI (0409)to a rp8400 with a 36Gb disk. After making selections and hitting GO I get the following error from mkfs ...

So what's the problem??? Log file is attached.

The 'B' version of Ignite-UX does not support installing B.11.23 on PA machines, only on IPF machines. You need to install the 'C' version of ignite from the B.11.23 0409 media onto your server in order to install B.11.23 on PA systems.

Ignite C.6.0.109 worked.
Thanks
