Hello Chris, OK- your disk controller configuration is corrupted, then. You don't have a console problem.
Since the manual IPL fails: Do a manual IPL from the D-Side now. That is, you put in the CD-ROM labelled I-Base and need to boot from it until DST-menu appears. I will walk you through the procedure from there. You will loose all data, but at least your system works again.
Greetings to Belgium, Philipp

Hi Philipp,
Many thanks for your quick reply.
The configuration will be a slight problem...
I got this AS400 at my last job.
In the meantime I left the company, and the configuration-sheet is still there. Should this really be needed, then I can always ask a colleague to bring it in.
I do have however a tape-backup if needed.
This system was originally purchased for Y2K testing and contained the absolute minimum regarding hard- and software. Mirror was not installed as far I can remember. I'm not even sure if there was any protection at all.
I did a manual IPL from the A-source as You suggested and got following SRCs :
11-3 675A9010 12-3 00B20117 13-3 00000110 14-3 FFFFFFFF 15-3 675A0004 16-3 00000000 17-3 00000000 18-3 00000000 19-3 07278100 20-3 61702289 21-3 FF 22-3 A1003022
What is really puzzling me is the fact that I don't get any response whatsoever on the console, cursor in the upper right corner.
I already put the twinax-controller into another port. Still no luck, gives the same SRCs.
Am I perhaps using the incorrect cable for this ? ( EC 896466 / PN 72X5645 ) The console works on my 40S.
Philipp, many thanks for your help
Chris
