Re: Bad LIF Image Error on Install for C8000 and J6750
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
