Guys,
Just wondering if this is a known problem....
Installed a fresh system (x4170M2) with build 175a. Because we saw some
problems with a boot 'hang' after the console displays the 'Hostname:
.....' we actually disabled fastboot, assuming there was a problem with
it, also because we installed OEL6.1 on the second disk, so we always
get the solaris grub menu to choose between solaris and OEL.
Last Friday we powered the system down (I think we were in Linux then).
Anyway, it was a clean shutdown (common practice)
This morning I powered the system back up, and just because we have seen
this boot issue on other systems, I wanted to see what messages i would
get with the '-sv' option in the grub menu.
It spits out the stuff you expect, but again, it 'hangs' after
displaying "Hostname: ..."
No messages after that.
Note that we have the console on /dev/ttya (linked to /dev/console I
expect). There is nothing on the JavaRConsole.
We are kind of stuck here, since I don't even know where to look to fix
this. A boot from the network, mounting the root zfs and a quick glance
at /var/adm/messages doesn't reveal anything.
BTW, we have seen this problem on SPARC (T4-4) as well, the workaround
there is boot in single user mode from the OBP prompt and then a simple
'exit' to go to multi-user. That seems to work until now.
If someone wants to take a look, please contact me
Thanks
Paul
