Re: Media error while reloading Licensed Internal Code

<P>&nbsp;Keith,</P><P>&nbsp; &nbsp;You may be correct in that he could try 
another CD or copy of, but the main problem I see is that he can't get the 
panel to change. This sounds to me like the service processor or an IOP (likely 
the MFIOP) has gotten creamed. &nbsp;It's possible that the I/O error isn't 
even real because of a preceeding error.</P><P>&nbsp; &nbsp;Seems like I recall 
a thread some time back where someone had a corrupted MFIOP that required IBM 
to replace it. &nbsp; Brain fade?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp; &nbsp; -
