I am new to IBM Hardware and AIX.

I have one P5 510 Box. 5.3 Installed.

When the box is booting, After kernel loading screen comes on the Monitor, after then it displayes "Diagnostics mode selection" .

If i go through "Diagnostics mode selection", then it will shutdown, after i power-on, once again it will go to "Diagnostics mode selection".
Anyone tell me what is happening ?

Have you got a Diagnostics CD in the CD/DVD drive?

Just after all 100's of "IBM" appear on the screen, hit "1" a few times.
You should enter SMS menus.

"5" takes you to boot options - follow your nose and try to boot of the first disk.

good luck, N

I do not have Diagnostics CD .

I re-installed the OS, but still whenever the box reboots, the box is going into Diagnostics mode.

Please anyone tell me, what exactly the problem ?

I would enter SMS mode (by hitting PF5 during the boot process). Once in SMS I would look to see if the multi-boot option is off.

I would also check the boot-list order, but I if I remember correctly (which is a miracle) I had this problem and it was because I was enabling multi-boot.

If I had the screens in front of me I would be more specific.
