Currently trying to install AIX 5.2 on an F50. The install from CD
works fine until the very end, where after creating the boot image the
install process reboots the server. The reboot fails and the server
just shuts down with the 20EE000B LED code. The code, to the best of
my knowledge, says that no boot image was found from the bootlist.
The install process always fails. Have tried to install to different
disks and scsi controllers thinking maybe that was the culprit. The
install process should be establishing the correct bootlist, yet it
acts as though it can't find the boot image. I've reduced the server
to one disk and controller and still the install process fails at the
reboot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Do you have the latest version of the microcode for this machine installed?
Might be worth a try...

You are correct..the code means unable to find a boot device. I
upgraded an F50 from 4.3.3 to 5.2 quite a while back, as a test before
doing that to the production F80. It worked fine for me, although I
upgraded the firmware to the latest, just to be safe. I don't
remember that being a requirement, and it may not be your problem, but
I thought I'd mention it.
