I have a system that is up and running on the 06-2009 release of OpenSolaris (svn_111b). I changed the package manager to point to the dev repository and did an update to try and bring my system up to svn_134, but I am unable to boot into the new image. When I select the new image from the grub menu the OpenSolaris loading screen comes up briefly then the screen goes black and some text flash too quickly for my to read before the system reboots. I tried to download an install CD for svn_134, but booting off the CD gives me the same behavior as booting into the new image. I tried to turn off graphic boot mode (removed the splashimage, foreground and background lines from the entry in grub and took console=graphics off the kernel line) and turned on the verbose options (added -kv -m verbose to the kernel line) but the text is only on screen for a fraction of a second, so I still have no idea what's wrong. Has anyone seen this before or have any clue as to what I could do to fix it or even at least prevent the reboot so I can read the output?
