I am trying to install AIX on a PS/2 model 80.  I installed
	Base O/S
	TCP/IP
	O/S Extensions
	C
	Software Dev Toolkit
	DOS Merge
	DOS Server
	Asynch Terminal Emulation

All went fine, and surprisingly fast (~ 1 hour).
THEN I applied the "updates" disk to apply bug fixes.  
It has you swap and re-swap and re-swap and re-insert and re-insert 3 disks
for a LONG time.  After all of this, it has applied its updates.  It then 
displays:

	Rebuilding kernel.

<a bunch of archiving and unarchiving messages>

	Revoking updates to AIX Base Operating System

And un-applies its updates to the base O/S!

I have followed the update instructions TO THE LETTER.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem?  If so, what is the work-around?
My only guess at this point is to reformat the disk, and try:
	Install Base O/S
	Update Base O/S
	Install TCP/IP
	Update TCP/IP
	etc

Even if you don't KNOW the answer, I'd appreciate any GOOD GUESSES!
(I will call IBM in a couple of days, but it is now the weekend, and I have
a STRONG desire to finish this up SOON. :-)
