    I tried both now, that didnt help.
    Also changed LPAR_ID to 2; was empty before. Same.

    I think it has to do with the mksysb and the spot i created from the
    mksysb.
    On the "mksysb-giving" node I have such stuff:

    (1)root@sbe18956 670# lspv|head
    hdisk0 00ced89dc425c8af None
    hdisk1 00ced89d11c504ad rootvg
    active
    hdisk2 none None
    hdisk3 none None
    hdisk4 none None
    hdisk5 none None
    hdisk6 none None
    hdisk7 none None
    hdisk8 none None
    hdisk9 none None
    (0)root@sbe18956 671# lsvg -p rootvg
    rootvg:
    PV_NAME PV STATE TOTAL PPs FREE PPs FREE
    DISTRIBUTION
    hdisk1 active 546 329
    63..26..22..109..109
    (0)root@sbe18956 672# extendvg -f rootvg hdisk0
    0516-029 extendvg: The Physical Volume is a member of a currently
            varied on Volume Group and this cannot be overidden.
    0516-1397 extendvg: The physical volume hdisk0, will not be added to the
    volume group.
    0516-792 extendvg: Unable to extend volume group.
    (1)root@sbe18956 673# lsvg -o
    rootvg
    (0)root@sbe18956 674#

    hdisk0 was bootet from. it is what contains rootvg.
    this stuff appeared after trying to "free" hdisk1 from a
    alt_disk_install (with -X).
    I have a PMR opened.

    While debugging I even had no rootvg sometimes:
    (1)root@sbe18956 620# lspv|head
    hdisk0 00ced89dc425c8af None
    hdisk1 00ced89d11c504ad None
    hdisk2 none None
    hdisk3 none None
    hdisk4 none None
    hdisk5 none None
    hdisk6 none None
    hdisk7 none None
    hdisk8 none None
    hdisk9 none None
    (0)root@sbe18956 621# synclvodm rootvg
    0516-306 : Unable to find volume group rootvg in the Device
            Configuration Database.

    I think as long as this isnt fixed, I cannot rely on being able to
    install a mksysb from this node.

    Regs,

    Holger

    Have you tried
    CONSOLE = /dev/vty0 (HMC Managed System) CONSOLE = /dev/tty0 (Serial
    Attached TERM or Emulator) ??

    If this were an M80, I'd say CD-ROM firmware. Maybe the problem rears
    its ugly head in a new release?

    Hello,
    I try to install a 5.3 mksysb on a p520. It hangs at c35 (cannot find
    console) after loading the kernel.
    Then I added a bosinst.data with a manuel entry for console; CONSOLE =
    Default (this entry is blank in the mksysbs bosinst.data).
    But again it hangs at c35.
    I could install a 5.2 without problems.
    Any hints?
    Regs, Holger
