Sigh. One more reason why I suggest people to go with 10.1. I ripped gpm out of that version. It doesn't always cause problems, but when it does, it's ugly. -snip- > Is there any way to fix it without reinstalling > everything? You should be able to IPL the starter system, but once you SSH in, instead of starting the install process, do an "insmod dasd_eckd_mod dasd=xxx" where xxx is the device number of the volume where your root file system is. Then, mount /dev/dasda? /mnt and chmod -x /mnt/etc/rc.d/rc.gpm If you then umount /mnt and re-IPL, you should be OK. If not, you'll need to follow the steps above to get the root file system mounted, then chroot /mnt, and then "removepkg gpm" followed by exit, umount, and a re-IPL.
