RS6000 model 150 stalls on 0549

[JimAntonic]

I have a system here that does not boot up. After i get to the "starting software" message, my screen goes blank and the operator display stalls on 0549. Not getting output through the serial port either. Anyone know how to fix this? Thank you in advance for your help.

3.3.4 LED 549 hang
This LED hang is not listed in the system Common Diagnostic Information books,
RS/6000 Diagnostics Information for Micro Channel Bus Systems, SA38-0532 or
RS/6000 and pSeries Diagnostics Informationfor Multiple Bus Systems,
SA38-0509. It occurs when the machine has a system dump to be copied off, but
because the graphics adapter has not been configured or cannot be configured
at this time, it cannot inform you via the panel.


Recovery
Complete the following recovery steps:
1. Power off the machine.
2. Obtain an ASCII terminal or a laptop with a terminal emulator. Set the speed
of the screen to 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Set the screen to
emulate a vt100 terminal.
3. Connect the ASCII terminal to the S1 serial port on the machine using a
RS232 terminal cable.
4. Power on the machine.
5. You will eventually see a message on the screen informing you that a dump is
on the paging space. The system is prompting for a device to copy the system
dump information.
6. If you have a tape, copy it off and send it to your normal AIX support
personnel. If you do not have a tape drive on the machine, you will have to
discard this dump by continuing the boot process.
7. When you get the login prompt, use SMIT to configure another dump device
on your machine. See Chapter 4, “System dumps” on page 69 for more
information.
