K370 with 10.20 wont autoboot

[Ian Killer_1]

I have a K370 (old) that wont auto boot. The system simply stops at the Processor Dependent Code (PDC) menu's (as if I had hit a key to interrupt the boot sequence). I checked the flags. auto boot was on, auto search was on fastboot was on and secure flag was off. We tried rebooting with autoboot off, then again with autoboot on with all other flags off. Still no joy. I figure it's the PDC, but I checked the ISL auto boot flag also and it was on.
Anyone ever seen this situation before?

It sounds to be hardware...

But question? Does it give you a PDC error on the panel?

If you're at bch, try verifying your PATH

PA

Then SEA IPL

to search for the bootable disks.

But seeing as that looks ok, (you get to ISL at some point) try looking in the service menu for AU

Use SL to view the Chassis logs.

Later,

Do you have a make_recovery tape?

Have you tried booting from that and checking your root disk to see if it's gone bad?

Just a couple more thoughts,

Check one more thing.. the content of your auto file..

ISL> lsautofl

it should return "hpux", if not create it ..

ISL>hpux set autofile

Thanks all. I'll try next chance for down time, probably next week and let you know what I discover. Cheers.
