I have a small 170 (a 2289 - a P05...). It's one of my development
boxes, running v5r2 until one of the drives died. Bought a replacement
drive, did a scratch install of v5r2 (always good practice once in a
while... :) .

Applied the latest cume and groups I had laying around, dated Nov 2004.
Good as new. I took a full system backup, bootable tape.

I then ordered the latest cume (it arrived yesterday) and groups for
v5r2. I loaded them just like always - groups/hipers/cume. When
rebooting to apply them (B side), the dreaded yellow light came on.
B6000901. Now, I can boot to the A side but not the B side. The
history log says the 'link loader' failed. Then one of the LIC ptfs
fails to apply (MF30209), but I think that's caused by the link loader
thing, not the ptf itself. I tried removing MF30209, but that won't
work. I tried removing all the PTFs for 5722999 but that won't work. I
tried rebuilding the LIC from DST, but got the complaint about the link
loader not being happy.

Good thing I took that backup.

I am currently booting to the D side (the tape). I'll scratch the disks
and do a full restore from tape (more useful practice... good thing it's
a dev box).

From what I googled about 'link loader failure' it may be that my load
source disk (6713, 8GB) ran out of space. I did load and apply a couple
PTFs before starting the Big PTF Install (5722999 mf35829 and mf36653).

MF36653 relates to the link loader... It's a HIPER... and it's in the
cume. Something about compaction.

MF35829 is also related to the link loader. It's in the cume, and it's a
hiper. Something about compaction.

I found that MF35829 has a related PTF - MF41170 - that fixes a problem
with MF35829... MF35829 is in the cume. MF41170 is not in the cume but
is in the hipers. Something about compaction.

I'm seeing a pattern here...

I am posting this here for the next poor guy that ends up in my shoes,
so that he has something more to GOOGLE....

But - does anyone have any comments on this? I have never had a cume
PTF croak the box like this... I think I'll restore to the tape I have
and just leave it there... put a big skull and crossbones on the new
cume... wait for the final v5r2 collection...

Thanks in advance for any thoughts...
