Default Restoring mksysb image fails

Hi all,
I'm trying to restore a mksysb tape but something goes wrong.

I followed the document "IBM Backing Up the Operating System in AIX 4
and 5" to make a mksysb tape image of an AIX 5.2 (oslevel -r says:
5200-04) installed on a 7025 F50.
When i try to use it to install another 7025 F50, everything goes
right till the "Over mounting /." message appears.
After a while I see lots of errors about "Symbol resolution failed for
/usr/ccs/lib/libc.a(shr.o) ...".

I left it running that way for about 12 hours and nothing changed, so
I rebooted and AIX was unable to start.
The only thing that worked was to make an overwrite installation from
aix cds...

Help!

Greetings,
Francesco.
