Solaris

Hi,

I have a SUNFIRE V40Z server with Solaris 10 i86pc platform. I am experiencing probkem at GRUB prompt. I have restarted my server thrice but it is getting stuck at GRUB. Moreover it is not accepting any key stroke from my keyboard. I am able to enter BIOS and navigate around.

Please help me out. This is sort of a high priority issue for me.

Thnks in advance.

Can provide screen shot? what do you mean by "stuck"?
Aren't you able to choose the OS from the grub and hit "Enter" ? You can't select?
Tried with another keyboard? Need details from you.

Hi Incredible,

Code:

 <grub>

this is where i am held up when i restarted the server all the three times. when i type something at the prompt it is not reflected on the screen...the keyboard is detected though, its like hanged state. i am not proceeding to the OS menu at all...

Insert a Solaris x86 OS dvd. power off and on the system. See what it does

Try to reinstall GRUB using Solaris DVD

Try turning on LEGACY USB SUPPORT in your BIOS if it has such a setting.
Also try holding down the SHIFT key while booting.
