This is as it should be. The "L" in S812L means the system is sold without a license for AIX and its microcode (that is firmware in IBM-speak) will deny running AIX. You can run anything you might get to run and have the necessary rights to do so: Linux is supported (hence the L), but if you would get, say, FreeBSD to run on your hardware (i doubt you could, but supposing you would) that would be equally OK.

Power systems from IBM are usually sold with a AIX license along. There is a "S812", which is identical to your system save for the limitation of not being allowed to run AIX. It costs a bit more than the S812L, though.

Sorry if this question seems condescending, it isn't: are you sure there are disks in the system? Background is, you could boot the system (at least under AIX - i do not have much experience with Linux on Power) completely from SAN so there are systems out there which have (and need) no disks at all.

I hope this helps.
