Hi all,

I've installed oi-151 on a new machine recently, and it's running great, but it 
will not reboot. I've made some boot environment clones as I've gone along and 
I can always roll back to the clean install, and that will boot, but it seems 
that after I install kvm and a few other bits (apache, mysql, etc), it doesn't 
want to reboot.

The hardware is an Intel S1200BTL motherboard with a Xeon E3-1230 processor 
with 16GB RAM.

I've been through this process a number of times now, rolling back, 
reinstalling, yes it works, reboot = hang. The hang is an odd one, it happens 
very late in the boot process, when the graphical login appears.

If I disable the graphical console and splashscreen and add some verbose 
logging to the grub boot command, I can see services loading up, and as the 
network comes online I can ping the machine successfully.

The last text I saw on the screen before was this:

pseudo: pseudo-device: kvm0
genunix: kvm0 is pseudo/kvm0

A few seconds after this the screen blanks - I assume this is where the 
graphical login would normally appear - and then the machine totally stops 
responding to network pings, keyboard events, etc. The capslock light on the 
keyboard won't toggle (is that a bad sign?).

kvm being the last thing logged could be a coincidence...  it's just the last 
thing in the log before the screen blanks.


Does anyone have any ideas as to how to track this down? 


Thanks,
Matt
