Ok, I've removed 2x J2094A Modem Connect MUX cards, and 2x 'SCSI (SE)
PARALLEL' cards. No change at all. Does anyone want any of these cards? :-)

are you really sure you in fact have HP-UX 10.20 CD media for _800_ series, i.e.
for the HP 9000 PA-RISC servers?

Ah. Now there may be problem. I know I have used these disks to install on
my 735 before, but that's a 700. I was not aware that the 700s and 800s used
different install cds. Sigh. Could it be that simple?

If so, my next question will be where I can get a working install-cd set for
my H30....

Yours,

Ok, thank you for your help in clearing this up. I'll see if I can procure
some 800-series install-cds somewhere.
