And a few days afterward, GRUB and post-boot console access via the ILOM SSH (/SP/console) after kernel load stopped working, but the Java ILOM redirection console was still OK.
I changed the eeprom from "console=text" to "console=ttya" and that broke GRUB+kernel console on the Java ILOM redirection, but fixed the post-boot console via SSH. (GRUB has not been visible via SSH in either case.) Sigh. I changed eeprom back to "console=text" and at least I have a fully functional Java console. And the virtual CDROM drive feature is beyond awesome. /SP/version, which I think is the latest: SP firmware 2.0.2.15 SP firmware build number: 39379 SP firmware date: Thu Nov 20 08:34:33 CST 2008 SP filesystem version: 0.1.16 -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
