[OpenIndiana-discuss] Hang on warm boot with OI build 148?

2011-03-25 Thread Dan Swartzendruber
Got this installed on a arima server motherboard. two dual-core opterons. OI installed and boots fine. The only glitch is if I try to do a warm boot (e.g. the reboot command). The screen blanks, and I see a screen that says: OpenIndian Build oi_148 64-bit SunOS release 5.11 ... Copyright .

The other thing I'd love to see is the ability to browse and edit svccfg properties. (Not strictly SMF but closely related.) On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 9:29 AM, Andrey Sokolov wrote: > services-admin allows only enable and disable services. > SMFGUI allows enable, disable, restart and clear service

I find it highly unlikely they'd go after an open source project that has no money to fork over.
