Try to boot with verbose kernel messages enabled. Edit the grub menu entry, delete the splashimage, foreground and background lines. And remove the console=graphics kernel option. Add the verbose kernel messages "-v" option at the end of the kernel$ boot line. Boot the modified entry. What are the last few lines on the console before it hangs? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
