Operating Systems Solaris Sun Fire X4540 in a reboot cycle Post 302554153 by salaxi54 on Saturday 10th of September 2011 11:00:13 AM

Have you checked that you don't have any error messages logged (boot permitting of course)? I just read over at another site of a similar case, where the user went through his /var/adm/messages although he didn't find anything strange there...
However, here's what he did:

"Digging out logs I found out there were critical errors about gdm so I disabled the service (svcadm disable svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default ) and the reboots stopped."

His symptoms were just like yours, on an X4540.
