I am having a hell of a time trying to figure this out. I am working
with a 9111-510 server. The initial image I have for it is on a tape
and is at 5.3 ML00. After I restore the tape I try install the latest
TL 04 with SP 3 code using smitty update_all and I get no errrors, but
when I reboot the box it hangs up at boot and the LED freezes at 0554.


Any idea what I am doing wrong. At first I had thought it might be a
firmware issue so I updated that as well and it still hangs.

Not reading the redbook:
Certification Study Guide - AIX 5L Problem Determination Tools and
Techniques
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246185.pdf

From the above book:
....


3.4.2 LED 552, 554, or 556

A LED code of 552, 554, or 556 during a standard disk-based boot
indicates that a failure occurred during the varyon of the rootvg
volume group. This can be the cause of:
A damaged file system
A damaged journaled file system (JFS) log device
A bad IPL-device record or bad IPL-device magic number (the magic
number indicates the device type)
A damaged copy of the Object Data Manager (ODM) database on the boot
logical volume
A hard disk in the inactive state in the root volume group
A damaged superblock

To diagnose and fix the problem, you need to boot from the installation
media, navigate the menus to access the volume group, and start a shell
before mounting the file systems.
.............................................................

Run fsck on each fs and check that they are not full.
