Dear all,

following the discussion we've had lately around upgrading installations, I've 
done so for a few 151a8 servers. While most of them were absolutely noiseless, 
one has failed. After doing 'pkg update', the machine rebooted as expected but 
then repeatedly got stuck on startup. While the server seemed to boot as 
always, I didn't receive a login prompt. The screen would accept key presses, 
the network stack would respond to ICMP messages, but neiter did I get a login 
prompt on the console nor via SSH. Going to single user mode on boot would work 
but moving on towards multi user (using Ctrl-D) would get me back into stuck 
state. Nothing in the logs, nothing unusual on screen, just silence.

Thanks to this being OpenIndiana, I simply reverted back to the previous boot 
environment and everything was fine again.

Any idea what might have happened or where to look?

Cheers
 Stefan
