Operating Systems AIX problem with login

I have now changed the default terminal in /etc/profile to vt100 and I still cannot get passed the console login prompt. I will try to install 5.1 and see if this makes a difference although I do not think it will!

I have now installed 5.1 and I still get the same result. I have noticed that the PCI ethernet drivers seem to cause a problem when the O/S is installed but cannot imagine this is a problem. Anyone got any ideas please? I also tried a range of different TERM types and this made no difference!

You might try this: boot the server in maintenance mode with a console attached to S1. Choose: Access a rootvg in maintenance mode, start a shell and mount a rootvg. In the shell export TERM=vt100 (or any other terminal suitable to your terminal program). Start smitty devices. Choose your TTY and change the following parameters:
* enable LOGIN - enable
* STTY attributes for RUN time - clocal (add)
* STTY attributes for LOGIN - clocal (add)
* Apply changes to Database only - yes
Then reboot.

Shockneck you are a star!!!!! I had not had chance to try what you said until today and it all came rushing back to me! This is a problem with working with LPAR technology you forget your roots! Serial terminals were always a problem and it came to me after reading your reply that there are the TTY settings. I changed them as you said and the O/S installation settings screen appeared when I rebooted! I now can login!

Shockneck you are a king amongst mere mortals!
