Problems booting from HP11.0 december 2002 CD's

Hi all,

We used to install HP11.0 june 2002 CD's on a C3650 (firmware 1.7).
This works without problems.
However if we want to install the HP11.0 december 2002 version on the same WS, the installation fails. The system reports :

ENTRY_IO failed, status = -3: Cannot complete call without error.

IPL error, bad IPL checksum
Error reading IPL


We tried the same CD's (december 2002, 5012-1967) on a K-server,B2600 and another C3650 without problems.

After the failure we used the june 2002 version again.
No problems encounterd. Weird !!

I would suspect the CD drive.
Try replacing it with another one

youre not the only one. We had problems too with the 11.0 dec2002 install CD. I suspect the dec2002 media is not as robust as the earlier versions. We simply used an earlier version also to get around it.
