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.
How is the terminal connected? The code you are getting is a standard O/S output which is saying the terminal has been found (c32 A direct-attached display (HFT) was selected.) Is there a graphics adapter fitted? You could try disconnecting the display and connecting a serial display to either S1 or S2 to see if you get the login screen.

I cannot give any further advice as a 0C32 is the normal end to the boot sequence so you problems should be with the display.

I hope this helps.

Description
       The macro returns a value with all bits set to 1 suitable for use in a plane argument to a procedure.

       The macro returns the black pixel value for the specified screen.

       The function returns the array of depths that are available on the specified screen.  If the specified screen_number is valid and suffi-
       cient memory for the array can be allocated, sets count_return to the number of available depths.  Otherwise, it does not set count_return
       and returns NULL.  To release the memory allocated for the array of depths, use
