Help Me! stuck on AIX 5.3 installation

spent past two days trying to install AIX 5.3 on RS/6000 7043-150. But it hangs on the installation CD volume 1. The box can boot from CD but stops at:
-------------------------------
Welcome to AIX
bootimage timestamp 04:50 08/26
number of processor 1 size of memory 512MB
boot device: /pci@80000000/scsi@10/sd@3:\ppc\chrp\bootfile.exe
kener size: 10941966; 32 bit kernel
kernel debugger setting: enabled
---------------------------------------------------------

I updated the firmware to the latest TPC05287 and the 32X CD-ROM(97H7610) Microcode to 1_03 also, but still could not get it to work. It has no problem on AIX 5.1 installation.

If you have any solutions or bright ideas please let me know.

Thanks for your help in advance. Please bear with my English, got no Chinese input software

    • 查一下硬件支不支持,firmware支持不。确认一定支持再说装的问题。
      • woo! that's quick! sure it supports AIX 5.3, I know other people got it successfully installed. Thanks so much for your prompt reply
    • I got AIX 5.3 installed on same machine(7043-150) with just 256M memory.
    • 1.CD是不是正版 2.等了多久才认为失败 3.字符终端还是图形终端
      • 1. Yes, I tried it on the same CD on 7044-170 had no issues 2. long enough for me to fly back to China 3. Graph terminal, but from a PCI vedio card(same setting for 7044-170)
        • 建议:把显卡拔掉,找根9-9的串口线,连接150的串口S1到PC上,光盘启动,然后用超级终端或者Netterm看。
          • you rock! work like charm now. thank you a million.
