I recommend that you check Firmware, OBP and Hypervisor versions before you do anything else.
I don't recommend you trying to go backwards uninstalling anything or modifying anything since applying a patchset should work.
Bring Firmware, OBP and Hypervisor right up to date and then apply all the latest patches you can lay your hands on.

Post back any questions/results.

See this too......

Thanks hicksd8 for the info. We figured it out. It was a SUNWusb package that was previously removed. We reinstalled the package and rebooted. It worked like a charm. We now have a gui on the console (KVM/monitor)

Again thanks for your help. It was greatly appreciated.Smilie
