Hi All:

On a SUN x4150 (that previously ran SL 5x fine), I have tried installing 
SL 6 (and 6.1 and 6.x).  For each of my SL 6 installations, the system 
will hang during the boot at "Starting system logger        [   OK   ], 
and not accept any keyboard input (I can't do a CNTL-ALT-F2, for 
example, to bring up another console and see what is wrong).

Scenario:

New install, either through the GUI for from Kickstart.
If I select option "minimal", then the system boots fine.  However, if I 
select an option with a GUI (like "Virtualization"), then I run into 
this problem.

Any suggestions on what to check?

thanks,

Paul Jochum
