    All,

    After I updated to AIX5.3 TL7. I tried to reboot the machine. But it failed to boot with the following error msg.

    PReP-BOOT: Could not open deblocker
    !20EE000B !

    I am not sure what is wrong.
    In addition my server is very old. Probably it is power3(270). I am not sure whether it support TL7. At least 5.3 TL1 works well.

    Thanks

    It looks like power3 isn't mentioned here.
