Hi All,

I cannot for the life of me get through a D-mode IPL. I can see in ASMI
that the IPL hangs because it cannot locate the console.

We do not have an HMC or a direct-connect console, just Lan
Console/Operations Console.

I have tried everything I can think of:
* Used 65+21 to set console to Lan Console
* Tried connecting only the laptop and i5 on a hub
* Tried pinging IP we originally set the Lan Console to, as well as
192.168.0.1.

I need to reconfigure my RAID and do a restore, but I cannot make it far
enough into the IPL to get to DST because of this console problem.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks,
Dave
