I suspect you'll find Xorg terminated with a core dump. This should be bug 6801386: Synopsis: Xorg core dumps on startup if hald not running in snv_107 http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6801386 And this is supposed to be fixed in build 109. Question is why hald doesn't start. Do you use NTP ? Could this be bug 6792302 ? Synopsis: hald occasionally exits on startup with status 2 http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6792302 Check the timestamps in hal's smf service log file: # svcs -l hal fmri svc:/system/hal:default ... logfile /var/svc/log/system-hal:default.log ... # tail /var/svc/log/system-hal:default.log What messages are logged? Any error messages? How much time passes between "executing start method..." and hal failing? 250 seconds? Or less than 250 seconds? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
