- I have installed aix 3.2.3 and I wished I hadn't. For those who don't need
- it I recommend to stay away. There are seriuos problems with qdaemon and
- serial printers and while trying to fix these my friendly IBM representative
- made me run the syschk -y command which went and changed a whole bunch of
- files. Result? my console went blank for good. I am now trying to restore
- back from my 3.2.2 backup tapes but of course the boot does not work.
- Flashing 888. I had two image backups one done with 3.2.2 one with 3.2.3
- they both do the same thing! I have an IBM 8mm tape drive and all that.
- So I would not trust those bootable tapes too much. I am now waiting for
- phone call! Good luck.
