Hello. Status report....
I booted the machine with the rescue64 kernel and edited the /etc/inttab default boot to 1 (single user). The debian LPAR will now boot and the the JS21 / IVM console can communicate with the debian partition - over the IVM Serial console. Notes: - we edited the /etc/inittab and uncommented the line "T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttys0 9600 vt100 - /etc/securetty - - - we have an entry ttys0 (and it is already uncommented ) Now - when we do an init 2, the machine will begin going into run level 2 and it will hang in the same spot.... HOWEVER... we know that the OS is not locked up because we now see these messages on the console (every 5 minutes) INIT: id "T0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes. ( again - this occurs after enabling t0 in the inittab. ) with regards to : please send us the full kernel log Im not sure what file your looking for - but will send it --- if someone can explain what file you want to look at. Thanks - Dave O. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Liveā¢: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_t1_allup_explore_022009
