Hello there,

I have got the following problem:
i installed aix 5.1 on a p630 system and after rebooting i cant get into aix it stucks on the message that the terminal is not initialised properly and i need to choose a terminal type, but i cant press any key here, and the keyboard doest react.

well i shutdown the system rebooted and went to maintance mode, here i did the following TERM=vt100 ; export TERM
ehen i do echo $TERM
i get vt100 as an anser this is good.
but when i then restart i still get the same message.
when i restart again into maintance mode and i do echo $TERM is gives nothing.
it seems like it doesnt remember this setting.
i use an emulation program emulating vt100.

Does anybody know how i can get the system to remember this setting so it wont stuck on the message.

Please help.

What terminal emulator are you using ? Can you stick an export TERM=vt100 in your .profile or .kshrc ?

You probably need to get it into the tty device setting before the .profile is even read or you still will not get a login.

Boot to SMS and set the console, then..

Do a maintenance mode boot and:
Smitty tty
Change / Show Characteristics of a TTY
Pick your tty, probably do both while there.
Scroll down to TERMINAL type
Set to vt100
Hit the go button
Check for a Command: OK and ttyx changed
reboot
