problem solved! actually i had not disabled the floppy drive in the BIOS (i don't have a floppy drive). The hal daemon was trying to access the floppy drive because it was enabled in BIOS.
the same thing was probably happening in the older version of OpenSolaris. But in this release, hal was added as a dependency to the gdm. so i couldn't get the login screen until hald returned unsuccessfully. this bug was reported long back: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6294851 thanks to everyone who helped... regards, Nischal E Rao -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
