Virtual I/O server Problem (before Installing AIX 7.1)

Hello people,

I'm facing some problems Installing AIX in my Power server 720

Well, to tell the truth my problem is in Virtual I/O (IVM) installation.

OBSERVE THAT I DON'T HAVE A HMC! By the way: I have the latest server Firmware!

I've done all the process in ASMI, then inserted and installed the VIOS 2.2.1 CDs... Well everything was running perfect...

BUT

When the server rebooted in VIOS, when it was supposed to finish all the process and ask me the login it stops! And I can't input anymore t___t

Here`s what I`ve got and where I`ve stucked:

Code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       Welcome to the Virtual I/O Server.
                   boot image timestamp: 18:46:54 05/22/2012
                 The current time and date: 18:49:30 05/22/2012
        processor count: 4;  memory size: 1024MB;  kernel size: 28147575
        boot device: /pci@800000020000200/pci1014,02BD@1/sas/disk@400:2

After "Completed NFS services" it was supposed to ask me the login!

Please, I could use some help!

SOLVED! Server hangs after first installation at COMPLETED NFS SERVICES

This took me an "Odyssey" to solve,

But finally I did it.

The last clue I've got told me that it could be a wiring problem
(http:// www .justskins.com/forums/server-hangs-after-first-148092.html)...

And it was exactly that! We had the proper IBM cable (P/N 46K5108) but it is short and our extension cable hasn't enough connections!

I've attached the INFO that saved the day Smilie
