Hello, today I was updating to the latest snapshot on sparc64 on a SUN Blade 100. While installing the sets all looked normal until after the base49.tgz set. The progress bar stayed for a while at 0%, then suddenly jumped to 100%. That's why the time is displayed as 00:00:

(cd disk ftp http or 'done') [done] Before rebooting the system running 'date' several times always display the same time for a long time. After more than 30min I gave up. Running reboot does take very long. After a long time I did a Ctrl-C, unmounted all the drives under /mnt and powercycled the machine. After booting the machine, the boot seems to hang at: starting network daemons: sshd sendmail inetd. starting local daemons:. standard daemons: cron. Sat Jul 16 18:05:12 CEST 2011 Machine responds to pings. SSH login is kind of possible. If I press Ctrl-C after the usual login message I could get a shell prompt. $ date Sat Jul 16 18:05:14 CEST 2011 $ date Sat Jul 16 18:05:14 CEST 2011 $ date Sat Jul 16 18:05:13 CEST 2011 $ date Sat Jul 16 18:05:13 CEST 2011 $ date Sat Jul 16 18:05:13 CEST 2011 Time seems not really reliable here... snapshot is from July 16th. The one from June 29th was working fine. Any hints how to resolve this? Anything to test? With the older snapshot the machine works without problems. Regards, Markus
