Server Hangs at boot
Hi Guys,
I have a SunBlade 1500 which I use to practice at home. Suddenly when I power on the server it just displays the solaris banner and Boot device: disk File and args: Then it stops and says " rebooting with command: boot"

It doesn't boot to the kernel. Is there anyway I can possibly fix this? I will gladly appreciate your help.

Thanks Guys

Thanks coolboys.
However, for a practice machine that's too much. The server does not boot at all. Not even after 24hrs. I tried remote login (rlogin), seriel; no success. It stays at booting.

have already fixed it by now? or still waiting for some suggestion?

If still waiting, do you see init.d started ? or see something like loading kernel modules...blahblahblah..
Do you recall something fishy done in your last logon
Can you not try the rescue method with dvd rom.. ?

try to boot with:

ok> boot -m verbose
ok> boot -m debug
ok> boot -m milestone=none
ok> boot -s

And see if any of those work, and check the error messages or where it get stuck.

Do you see any error at all on the console
