I was able to get logged in for a while today and grabbed the last logs from Oct 3. I see piles of warnings like this: Oct 3 17:36:01 zfs genunix: [ID 667643 kern.warning] WARNING: Postattach failed for hid8 Oct 3 17:36:01 zfs genunix: [ID 667643 kern.warning] WARNING: Postattach failed for hid17 But those are peripheral kinds of usb ports or such aren't they? Where to look for any clues ... so far its been running for about 1/2 hr and not getting any beeps yet, so may be a good opportunity to extract some kind of diagnostics I can't get X up ... it just went to a black screen, after seeing the main login screen, logging in to consol and calling: but am able to login at the terminal or ssh from elsewhere to the osol box. I've posted dmesg at: www.jtan.com/~reader/dmesg_osol.txt I haven't scanned it thoroughly but didn't see anthing I recognized as a clue.
