Hi everyone,

I just installed the SP3 on an AIX 5.3.
After installing the patches, I ran the shutdown -Fr command to reboot the server.

Now I'm stuck in a boot loop :
sms menu
...
Aix is starting
...
sms menu
...

etc.. etc..

Last time I had an issue with an AIX not booting, I was able to try to debug it as I had a Led code I could use. But this time, Led codes are just following the boot process..

Any idea what I could check before I re-install the Bos?

Thanks in advance

Liumang
