I had the same problem as ksaman.  I installed opensolaris snv_134 on my z61m 
thinkpad laptop via a USB stick and whenever I would boot, it would restart 
shortly after the orange progress indicator appeared.  By editing the kernel 
line in the grub boot menu to remove the 'console=graphics' part, I was able to 
get in.  Strangely, I expected to boot up in a text mode, but I still got a 
blue screen and then ended up in a GUI console.  The only difference I could 
see in the boot process was that I didn't see the progress indicator.  I 
suppose I could now change the /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst file to permanently 
remove the ',console=graphics' from the 'kernel$' line, but I'm wondering if 
that's the correct fix.  Is it?

Thanks,

Marnix
