Following-up on the thread - here is the serial console output when I try and boot from CD (this is the full install cd, not the netinst):
1) Initial SEARCH for boot devices Main Menu: Enter command or menu > SEARCH Searching for potential boot device(s) This may take several minutes. To discontinue search, press any key (termination may not be immediate). POTENTIAL BOOT DEVICES Path# Device Path Device Type ----- ----------------- ------------------------- P0 scsiA.6 HP 73.4GST373454LW P1 ide.0 HL-DT-STDVDRRW GWA-4161B 2) And this is from booting without interacting with the IPL with “boot ide.0" Main Menu: Enter command or menu > boot ide.0 Interact with IPL (Y, N, or Cancel)?> N Booting... Boot IO Dependent Code (IODC) revision 1 IPL error: bad LIF magic. .... FAILED. 3) If I interact with the IPL, no difference Main Menu: Enter command or menu > boot ide.0 Interact with IPL (Y, N, or Cancel)?> Y Booting... Boot IO Dependent Code (IODC) revision 1 IPL error: bad LIF magic. .... FAILED. There is no timeout in either case - the error is immediate - so not sure if that points more to a bad image from the CD-RW. Also, I see that I have a more recent version of IODC - not sure if this a red herring though. I don’t have a spare second SCSI drive to copy the image over to - will see if I can scrounge up something (although at that point TFTP might be less hassle…) - I only have one drive which will be the install target. =P Cheers, Jay -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
