The gdm service depends on the hal service. There is no attempt to start gdm / the gui because hal is not starting. The hal service has a logfile at /var/svc/log/system-hal:default.log are there any (error?) messages logged to that file? The other problem is with the inetd-upgrade service. What is logged to that service's logfile, at /var/svc/log/network-inetd-upgrade:default.log ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
