Try it with the "-v" option, that should enable verbose kernel messages. You can also combine that with "-k", as "-kv". Or start the kernel with the kernel variable moddebug set to 80000000, to get debug messages for each module loaded. See http://blogs.sun.com/dmick/entry/diagnosing_kernel_hangs_panics_with Boot with options "-kdv", and in kmdb: moddebug/W 80000000 :c > I've tried snv from b94 to b99, with the same results. Just a wild guess: I do remember that I got such a hang with the xvm kernel on a Tecra S1 laptop. On that laptop switching into acpi mode has the side effect of stopping the the legacy pit timer. There was already a workaround available in the xvm hypervisor to fix such a problem; it is enabled by passing option "correct_pit" to the hypervisor, like this: kernel$ /boot/$ISADIR/xen.gz correct_pit -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
