AIX 5.3 Boot Hangs On Power4 Hardware
Hi all,
We have a old Power4 server with AIX version 5.3 installed. Upon boot up, it hangs right after the AIX welcome screen. On the diagnostic load progress LED indicator, I saw that it stopped at '0c32' then after awhile the LED would be blank. The screen on the monitor will hang at the black terminal screen with a not blinking cursor.
What should I do next? I hope the filesystem is not corrupted fingers crossed.
Thanks.
