I have recently aquired the following machine:
IBM,9113-550
Up until yesterday we could connect a dumb terminal to serial port 1 and get console login. However the dumb terminal died. We are now using a laptop with a null modem cable attached to serial port 1. This works perfectly for all of our other pseries servers except this one. As far as I can tell everything is setup the same as the other servers.
Code:
lsdev -Cc adapter | grep -i serial
vsa0 Available LPAR Virtual Serial Adapter
vsa1 Available LPAR Virtual Serial Adapter
lscons
/dev/vty0
cat /etc/inittab | grep tty
cons:0123456789:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/console

Have tried rebooting several times with the laptop connected no output is sent to the laptop. I am using hyperterminal with the following settings:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
