Al: 

Thanks for the message.  You may not recall, but we met a couple times - 
either at the Northeast User Group, or maybe Nashville, maybe 
Stratford-upon-Avon (UK iSeries group)... 

Here's my experience so far... 

Automatic IPL for over a day.  Stuck at C900 2C40 but still chugging. 

Manual IPL for almost 2 days.  Stuck at C900 29A0 but still chugging. 

Manual IPL again.  Stuck at C900 28C5 for over an hour. 

Manual IPL again.  This time on the A side.  Still praying. 

Question - if an OS object is damaged and I boot off the tape, will I be 
able to run some backups? 

Re commitment control - this is just a development machine, so I'm not 
worried about data. 

Thanks. 

DAVE
