When my ssh connection got stuck I didn't wait for it give me a "connection reset by peer" error and promptly proceeded to disconnect my connection using the ssh disconnect key pattern, i.e "ENTER ~ ."
I then connected over from serial console and saw machine BIOS messages as they show up when the machine is being restarted. Our serial telnet servers keep a log of the last messages on serial and I just check those. I installed opensolaris over serial using Automated Installer and these are the last messages, which is basically showing OS being installed: 066> Download: SUNWgnome-cd ...

I had just finished installing the machine and configuring the IP address so no one else was on the machine to reboot it had a clue of it's existence. I also kept having the same problem (machine rebooting with mkfile command) untill I tried the "-k" option on the kernel line. You are right, there is probably some hardware issue that is causing this (I am not blaming the OS), I am just trying to figure out what it is and how to find the cause. And no panic information in /var/adm/messages or on the console is very disturbing indeed. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
