It is possible that OpenSolaris has a problem finding the VGA console device, and as a result falls back to use the serial port as console device (for console output and input). In the verbose kernel messages, did it report that the "vgatext", "i915" or "nvidia" driver have detected (video) hardware? Does that system have a serial port (maybe as connector / header on the mainboard)? Is the console redirected to the serial port? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ distribution-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/distribution-discuss
