Hi There,
I've determined that if I BFU my system:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a
SunOS orthanc 5.11 opensol-20061030 i86pc i386 i86pc
...to opensol-20061103 that I get a kernel panic just after the initial
SunOS copyright notices and then the system reboots.
However, the system reboots so quickly that I can't read what actually
went wrong. Furthermore, when I go back into my system, there's no
obvious core dump or crash file which makes sense to me as I think it's
crashing in a ramdisk before a hard disk is mounted.
I suspect that I'm encountering:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6487609
I attach a short prtconf output, but a verbose output is at:
http://www.adam.com.au/lloy0076/solaris/prtconf.output
...which is about 1398 lines long.
I added "-kd" onto the kernel boot parameters which dropped me into the
kernel debugger but then I realised I had no idea how to use the
debugger or what to look for.
It would be useful, though, if I could stop the system from doing an
immediate and summary reboot so I can actually see the kernel dump...
DSL
ps: I'm on a VIA based chipset, IIRC, not an Intel based one.
