And I got the "KDB(0)>" prompt and operating panel showed "BA210000". I never had the problem this before and don't know what to do

    From my experience:
    Update your HMC software and system firmware - this fixes 90% of such problems.
    If it starts reading the CDROM and then fails - it might be a problem with the CDRom like scratches or its back level.

    How could I upgrade system firmware? What firmware we are talking about? HMC was upgrade to 5.1 and is it enough?

    Anyway, I thought you might use old cd-rom media for installation.
    what version of you OS cd? My question is not only major verions like 5.2,5.3
    you can see os cdrom media's date version on it.

    I found that when I used the new cd (aix 5.3, ML04)and it was just working fine. I didn't know why the old cd had been working fine and all the sudden it wasn't working. But I used the old cd to install AIX O/S several times without any problem. Would you know why it wasn't working?
