    Hi list,

    I am getting the following error during AIX 5.3 new installation on a P550 machine:
    Finished processing all filesets.
    System Installation Time: 2 hrs 24 mins Tasks Complete: 93%
    Method error (/usr/lib/methods/cfgefscsi -2 -l fscsi0 ):
    0514-061 Cannot find a child device.

    FAILURES

    Filesets listed in this section failed pre-installation verification
    and will not be installed.

    Missing Filesets

    The following filesets could not be found on the installation media.
    If you feel these filesets really are on the media, check for typographical
    errors in the name specified or, if installing from directory, check for
    discrepancies between the Table of Contents file (.toc) and the images that
    reside in the directory.

    devices.pci.86807910
    devices.pci.86808a11
    devices.pci.ethernet
    devices.pci.pciclass.020000

    << End of Failure Section >>

    Method error (/usr/lib/methods/cfgefscsi -2 -l fscsi0 ):

    The installation stops at 93% with the error above....looks like it has to do with HBA interfaces....after that, when booting to AIX (and not the CD) the screen below appears:


    Welcome to AIX.

    These programs allow you to enter diagnostics, service aids, single
    user mode, or low-level maintenance mode. The diagnostics should be
    used whenever problems with the system occur which have not been
    corrected by any software application procedures available.

    In general, the diagnostics will run automatically. However, sometimes
    you will be required to select options, inform the system when to
    continue, do simple tasks, and exchange diskettes.

    Several keys are used to control the diagnostics:
    • The Enter key continues the procedure or performs an action.
    • The Backspace key allows keying errors to be corrected.
    • The cursor keys are used to select an option.

    To continue, press Enter.
    What do I have to do to finish the installation and configure Network so I can telnet to the machine normally? Could be that the CD media have any problem?

    Any help is appreciated.
