I'm trying to install 10.20 (from disk B3920-13860 (Install and Code OS)), but I'm getting the next result:

What is wrong?

[Stefan Farrelly]

10.20 is not supported on an L or N, sorry. I dont think the 10.20 kernel knows about the L class hardware, hence the installer wont load.

[Robert-Jan Goossens]

Hi,

Stefan is right, take a look at next link.

The L-class systems are not 10.20 "friendly", as 10.x of HP-UX has no knowledge of various bits of the hardware.
They only run 64bit 11.x of HP-UX

[T G Manikandan]

They cannot support 10.20 -->32 bits

check /etc/.supported_bits.

Only can have 11.0 and above

Thanks

Hi:

Regardless of the lack of 10.20 support on an L-class, 10.20 will not be supported after June 2003 (in 4-months!)

Hi,

No. 10.20 is not supported on any L-class.

L-class could take only 64 bit OS (i.e 11x)

[Steven E. Protter]

Not possible.

11.00 or better, 64 bit OS only.

If you get away with it you'll have an unsteady system and no support. Not a good idea.
