AIX 4.3 Hang Issue on Power-Up

Hey all,

I am experiencing quite an odd scenario where an AIX RS/6K machine
(running AIX 4.3) does not properly come up after a power-cycle. The
system seems to come up fine (i.e. the normal boot sequence occurs
without a reported error), and I get the user login console, but after a
few minutes the system just locks up.

I have tried dropping the system to single-user mode, but after a while
(again, on the order of minutes), it locks up.

I am wondering if anyone has experienced something like this before. If
so, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
