Again, you didn't say if you are running under VM, but if you are, then you can logon, and turn on a CP trace, which will help figure out where the system is, and whether it really is looping or not. These kinds of situations have come up in the past, and with some digging, the reporter, and IBM were able to figure things out. If you are not running under VM, then there's not a lot you can do to gather any sort of diagnostics.
