FWIW, I use AIX and there is no vt420.el anywhere that I can see.
Are you directly connected (to a video card) or are you logging in
with a vt420 type terminal through a serial port? Are running X
windows?
Assuming the normal direct connection and running X, I wonder why
vt420 is mentioned at all? Perhaps there is some left over
customization in your .emacs or one of the startup files that should
be removed?
