I have a client who has an IBM XSeries 226 2003 server that got shutdown
improperly and now it will not boot up. I can see the BS of death for a split
second and then the PC reboots. Is there someway to stop the PC at the BS so
I can troubleshoot the problem? I booted with Winternals ERD to read the
event log, but nothing was written to it about the shutdown and it never gets
far enough to write anything to it. I also tried going back to the config in
the repair dir, but no luck. I also don't see anything in the BIOS in regards
to ASR options. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA
