I've noticed that the order of messages is different today than it was when
the system booted successfully in the past. I'm seeing:
alt0: 1000 Mbps full duplex Link Up via autonegotiation
At least several lines later in the process than it used to be. I'm
wondering
if there's some odd timing bug being hit, or if something else might be
going
wrong. In the past this line appeared a couple of lines after the drivers
for
the card loaded, before "Created FRU binary error log packet", now it is
after
"i2c Server management hardware present" - or farther down.
Any thoughts? Does this maybe indicate something?

--original question--
I have a system that is hanging on boot - including genvmunix. It gets to
just
after initializing the network adapters (and i believe after initializing
swap)
and then just hangs. I've been working with phone support for a while and
the
best suggestion he can come up with is restore root and see if that fixes
it. I'd
like to avoid that as it is time consuming. Does anybody have any
suggestions
as to what the system might be attempting to do at this point and what files
might
be corrupt or otherwise causing problems? Unfortunately it's too early in
the boot
stage to actually find out.
