Cheers! Dont be afraid to tell me really basic stuff that everyone else knows and assume I know as well - it's all really useful. I have never directly used UNIX before - ever, and this week I have to build a system and get it fully operational. Plenty of books/web info to help me if i'm a...

Additional.... tried F1 key in service and normal modes, through terminal and directly connected keyboard but with no success :-( Cheers! Clive.

nwardez, Thanks! I am using a modified winterm, do I need to plug a keyboard in direct to the box to gain access to SMS area? It seems with a non operating system that this is about my only course of action. The CD-drive is fine, I have both of the aix 4.1.5 cd-roms but they don't seem bootable...

Sorry Mr Smart. Broke the thread, and it didn't make much sense, typing it quickly yesterday, hopping between four machines on three platforms pausing only to bang my head against the wall for some satisfaction. Did you think I was trying to install AIX onto the ultra - which already has Linux...

Hi, Back again.... I have been using my ULTRApenguin (Sun Linux) to view AIX cd roms to try and work out if they are bootable. I have found a file called BOSinst.data that seems to have 'remed out' instructions and a little bit of code. Does anybody know about this file, do I try and fill in...

Hi, Had the morning to play UNIX, trying to boot just results in alternating 223/229 error and flashing drive light in normal mode and a 518 error in service mode. The 223/229 is an IPL failure - what is IPL - and could it be down to a none bootable SCSI disk or is the hardware wrongly...

Yegolev, Thanks, appreciate the probs with RM but come Friday I had had enough of the stinking beige box - hovever stable it may be! Today marks the start of a new week so I may see what I can do, not a great deal without the install disks though I will check the Aixqueen's thread. That mount...

Hi - Back again, Summat up with the server this morning - couldn't access the forum so things have taken a sorry turn.... DSMARWAY - Yep CD is CD1, I've tried bootlist normal and secure but I have the feeling my media is not bootable. Do I need a boot floppy for AIX 4.1.5? GREP doesn't work -...

Thank you for all your replies, I tried instfix -i | grep -i ml and I get the error 'cannot create a directory in the /tmp directory, check permissions or available space' Now I'm logged in as root and the space is there, but a few days ago when I was sorting out the MAIL I noticed /tmp volume...

Thanks!, :-) , but how much memory have you got installed on your server ? How big is your hard disk ? if you are getting errors , what maintenace level are you running? Sorry about this but I am completely new to UNIX environment, how do I check these sort of things? It was several days of...

Hi there, Another newbie I'm afraid! I have no experience of UNIX but I have to get a old 320 RS6000 box set up. So far I have it working (solved boot problems) and have managed to make a working scsi drive out of bits! The machione is due to be used at the college for deliver a basic UNIX...
