    I recently upgraded my IBM Pseries e-server type 7028-6e4 from AIX 5.1 to AIX 5.3. Everything seemed to go well during the upgrade. However, after rebooting I got the logon screen and logged on as root, then everything on the screen except the cursor went black. I am able to telnet into the machine as normal. When I do that it shows it is now running AIX 5.3 and all of my remote file systems mounted successfully.

    The system firmware level = RG080424_d79e22_regatta
    The platform firmware level = 3R080425
    The OS level = 5300-09-02-0849

    Here is the results from "smitty g-display"
    DEV_NAME SLOT BUS ADPT_NAME DESCRIPTION
    ======== ==== === ========= ===========
    lai0 12-00 pci GXT135P GXT135P Graphics Adapter

    Default display = lai0

    'smitty display' then indicates 'Default display = lai0'

    Any ideas?

    Hi,

    After upgrading did you checked for OS vulnerabilities:-

    1. oslevel -rq (To chk TL)

    1. oslevel -sq ( To chk SP)

    1. lppchk -v

    If everything seems to be fine reset dterm config

    1. cd /usr/dt/bin
    2. ./dtconfig -reset

    I checked all the OSlevels and patches and it is completely up to date. I then reset the dterm config, but still no luck.
