Hello all,

A system on which I've been running osol without major problems for almost two 
years now hangs, about the time when it tries to go into multi-user mode, I 
think. I can boot into single-user mode, and "zpool status" reports no errors.

I have an error message coming up which was not produced before:

WARNING: /p...@0,0/pci1043,8...@2 (ohci0): Connecting device on port 5 failed

If I do a verbose boot, at one point, the above message is preceded by "usba:".

I'm running snv_134. I also still have an snv_133 boot environment, but when I 
try to boot into that, exactly the same thing happens. Also, when I tried to 
boot the osol 2009.06 live CD-ROM, I ended up in the GRUB command-line 
interface, whereas before it booted fine. However, a LInux live CD-ROM boots 
without any problems.

I'm pretty sure that the problem is hardware related. The USB ports in the 
front of my x86_64 PC do not work. Yesterday, I stuck a USB stick into them, 
with no response. Then I stuck it into a rear USB port, and the stick got 
mounted. It was at this time that I noticed the above error message for the 
first time, when I did "dmesg". Today, although I had not logged out or 
rebooted my computer for several days, when I went back to my computer, I 
noticed that it had logged me out, and the Gnome display manager was prompting 
me to log in. But when I tried to do so, I could not enter my user id using the 
keyboard. It was then that I rebooted, to find that I can only boot into 
single-user mode.

Does anyone have any ideas about how I can boot into multi-user mode, and have 
GUI functionality again? I don't need USB disk drive functionality. I have a 
USB keyboard, but it works in single-user mode. Is there perhaps some service 
or services that I can disable?

Any help, suggestions for troubleshooting, or explanations for what might be 
going wrong would be much appreciated. At this point, the only solution I can 
think of myself is replacing my case and/or motherboard.
