I would like to verify this issue.
- The console screen turn blank screen during reboot. Console screen
does not respond.
- No error shows on the console screen.
- Can not access the server from console or remote.
- If 'failsafe' mode seleted, server reboot and get the # prompt.

Here are the recommendations from the list what to do from the # prompt:
- Check the error logs and messages.
- Restart all the services manually (svcadm)

I will try and let you know.

Any recommendations? Thanks.

Stephanie

Original message:

I am having a problem with re-booting the Dell DL380 Solaris 10 x86
after applying the latest patches via updatemanager. After all patches
were installed, the server would not re-boot. Since using the
updatemanager and selected all updates available, I do not know what
updates I installed on the system. I even power off/on few times.
Everytimes, in the middle of booting the console screen turned blank
and stay that way forever. During the re-boot if I select 'failsafe'
mode, I get the '#' prompt. I tried to reboot from the prompt, but the
server is acting the same blank screen. I don't know what is wrong and
how to get the server to completely boot up. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
