Errors Found at IPL

5-4 AIX Operating System Problem Determination Guide
The error numbers found in this section are errors that are found
by the loadlist processor during system IPL. Some of the errors are
non-fatal. When a non-fatal error is sensed, the error number
blinks for about ten seconds, and then the IPL continues.
For fatal errors, (errors that completely halt the IPL) the error
number continues to blink until you IPL the system again.
Most of the errors found in this section are caused by programming
errors. Examples of programming errors are: an error in a module
that the loadlist processor loaded or executed, or an error in the
loadlist processor code itself.
Since the user has the ability to install other software on the VRM
minidisk, it is sometimes difficult to tell if the error occurred in
IBM code, or in the user's code, if changes have been made to the
VRM minidisk. For all errors that indicate a change may have
been made to the VRM, the user should again install the VRM
from his IBM-supplied diskette.
Once the VRM is installed again, IPL the system. If the problem
still appears, use your normal problem reporting procedures.
