RS/6000 won't start closing stdin and stdout
By Perkins - usenet poster
We just bought 2 second hand RS/6000 7044/270 with AIX 3.3 maintenance level
4.3.3.10. The problem is they won't start. We get the IBM RS/6000 logo and
the message "Starting software...Please wait". Then after time, date etc it
says:
"boot device: /pci@fef00000/scsi@c/sd@8"
"closing stdin and stdout..."
Then nothing more happens. The code on the display is "0517"
Both machines do exactly the same thing so I guess there is something we
haven't done right. The seller said they worked when shipped. Any idea what
to do or try?

a couple of quick questions...
are you attempting install, or post install config?
and how long are you giving it before you are considering it hung.
I have observed on the 44p systems a long hang at install time when using
lft0 as the console device. this "hang" is actually the serial ports timing
out before going to LFT

I don't think this is likely to be the problem.
The "boot device: /pci@fef00000/scsi@c/sd@8" message indicates that
you're booting from the SCSI disk at ID 8 (which is normal).
Of course, you *will* have to boot from CD to fix whatever *is*
wrong once you know what it is...

It might be worth asking the seller what sort of environment
they lived in before they were de-installed.
Does it stay at 517 *for ever* ?
517 is generated in /sbin/rc.boot before mounting the / and /usr
filesystems. In an environment where /usr was remote and is now
unavailable, I guess it might wait for *a while* before timing
out and giving a 555 or 557 ?
