Do the messages appear after screen is started (does anything happen when you press F2 to get shell access)? If so, you can try to find out the failing service(s) by doing "svcs -v". Another quick thing to try is to increase the memory size of the VM to 256MB and see if it makes any difference. -- Mac _______________________________________________ GNU/Solaris Users mailing list gnusol-users@gnusolaris.org
