    Hi Patrick,

    Not sure if you are running into the same problem but I had similar
    problems a year ago with an H50, and a F80. If I remember correctly I had
    to update the microcode one machine (ended up doing both) and I also had
    to get a newer version of the OS. I had to confirm what the LCD number on
    the back of the OS case was, once I did that I was told by IBM not to use
    the release I had.

    Sorry it is not specific but maybe searching for these two problems on
    IBM's site might help or at least eliminate these as a cause.

    Thanks
    John

    I have an H50 here that I am trying to load AIX 4.3.3 on for testing the
    migration to 5.2 of our production DB. I cannot seem to get the system to
    boot/install from the AIX CD. I've double-checked the boot sequence in SMS
    and even done the install option from the SMS menus, but the system stops
    booting on a 0518 code on the LCD panel. Looking this code up, it suggests
    a problem was encountered doing a network boot, which is odd since I'm not
    doing a network boot.

    Any suggestions from the list would be helpful.

    thanks,
