888 is a system crash. if you call in with one of those, you'll be talking to my group (; typically, you'll see a series of 4 numbers: 888-102-xxx-0cx
the 'xxx' can sometimes immediately point to hardware errors, especially if the first number is a 2. otherwise, they're generic codes pointing to things like data storage interrupts..
this is another thing i like about AIX over Linux. since using development kernels i've had about 3 or 4 crashes, but i've never seen any pointers to what might have caused them. i have syslog set to log kern.* to messages..
in AIX you can have a device set aside specifically to log system dumps to be analyzed any time the machine crashes.

they are catagorized in AIX.. check info explorer for 'List of Three-Digit Display Values.'
