boot cdrom error

#1 (**permalink**) 09-29-2002

I'm running a Ultra 60 and having problems booting from the cdrom. This is the error I get,

Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@6,0:f File and args:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.

Any know what could be the problem here? I've even tried connecting a 2nd cdrom (external) to boot from that but it wont allow it, I get the same error.

I've done probe-scsi-all to check the address against devalias and I can't see anything that is different. Run the test command and that works fine. If I use a disk with a O/S on it the cdrom works fine. Also tried using a different cd (same O/S) didn't work, also tried with a different O/S cd but still didn't work. boot -r after connecting the 2nd cdrom doesn't help it read from that one.

I'm stuffed for idea's now. If anyone can help thanks in advanced.
