I saw similar symptoms: IPL load complete, SAD activity, but no console messages. Once I went to lunch and came back to find there were messages after nearly an hour of 'blank console'. This was pre IFL and the LPAR had small weight values, but still!! I trimmed down the 'GEN' to eliminate all of the unnecessary channels and devices and retained only the absolute essentials and that made all the difference in the world. Messages started coming back to the console in seconds. (Alternately, you could just "CONFIG OFF" the unnecessary stuff via HCM). YMMV. Good luck, Paul
