Operating Systems AIX AIX 4.1.5/RS6000 boot hang, help requested Post 97436 by bakunin on Monday 30th of January 2006 11:57:05 AM

If you can telnet to the machine not everything is lost.

Maybe it is just a matter of redirecting the system console. First determine which device name your GXT250 adapter has, usually it should be lft0.

# lscfg

Then try to log on to the machine and redirect the system console terminal to that device:

# swcons -c /dev/lft0

See "man swcons" for mor information about this command. If this doesn't solve the problem please check back here.
