Done - no difference. Same message. Written multiple images, multiple
times on multiple machine. Each one with the same result. At least I'm
not completely alone, I found this:
http://wikihip.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/RS6000/KernelTestsOn43P240 exact
same error.

The machine was working fine under AIX when it was decomissioned. It
had some issues with a disk going bad due to heat (blocked vents). But
once they were cleared there were no issues. I am going to try the
other machine. I'll keep my finger's crossed.
