I'll see if I can get those off of the system before rebooting this time. Is that log file copied to /a/var somewhere? if so I'll just reboot from CD and grab it. > Additionally, more information on which types of machines you're > installing into would be valuable.

Looking at the logs, I saw the failure, and then later (for some other reason?) the installer ran it again and I didn't see a failure on that one. > In the AI case, since you can temporarily get console access, you could > manually modify /etc/ttydefs after install, but prior to rebooting, and > see if that helps: I did do that, it was booting from the AI CD that I couldn't get the serial console to work all the way. Before rebooting, I ran 'beadm mount opensolaris /a', then I edited /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc, /etc/ttydefs, and /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst After that I ran 'bootadm update-archive /a'. It recreated 2 archives, and then I rebooted. In the grub menu I used 'e' to verify the menu.lst had the 'console=ttya' in it. So I booted it. That's when I see the '......' on both the serial and VGA consoles, and I never see the kernel banner. I don't think it does (I saw the ARC case, but don't remember if it was pre or post b134, or when it may have integrated,) but does this build have the new fix for the kernel to look up in the ACPI tables the settings for console redirection?
