check your space on root perhaps root is full remember when increasing space makes your hd full and seeing that your hd is the bootdisk where root and home is sitting you ran outta space and u must have space available for booting .ive explained it to you in the recover rootvg question.<br>goodluck chow

to get the server to maintenance you need to boot of the aix 4.3 cd. You do this by puttting the cd into the drive and bootup the server. when it gets to the point where keyboard, mouse etc are shown on the screen hit f5 if you have a graphical console or 5 if you have an ascii console. This will now boot an image form the cd run through the menue still you get to where you have the install option. The lats option in this list says "go into maintenace mode".
