I was having problems with an Ultra 5 hanging in the boot sequence. I
finally realised that it was something to do with the mouse, so I plugged a
standard keyboard & mouse in and hey presto, successful boot.
What I don't understand is why a system that had been happily booting with
just a serial console and no keyboard for a year or so, would suddenly stop.
Now I can't use the serial console, which is a pain as I don't have a
monitor connected.
The only change was that I took the lid off and added some ram. Taking it
out again didn't solve the problem - possibly I disturbed something whilst
installing it???
Any thoughts anyone?
Maybe some other event changed an OpenBoot entry or corrupted a kernel
config file for those serial devices, resulting in the changed settings
for the serial device. If i recall your previous posts, it does start the
boot sequence, so this implies the first place to look would be in the
system, not the prom, but off the top of my head i don't know what files
to look at.
Good luck,
