Please tell me if this is the wrong group to post to (including a
better group to post to)...
I just upgraded a dual socket 3.1GHz NHM-based system:
http://supermicro.com/products/motherboard/QPI/5500/X8DTH-6F.cfm
...in order to get the latest igb driver to recognize the NIC.
The upgrade worked for that, but on boot, the cylon-stare
"OpenSolaris" splash screen doesn't go away w/o hitting "escape", and
I get a message "svc.startd: system/xvm/ipagent: default failed
repeatedly" and "...failed to abandon contract 66: permission denied"
in the console.
"svcs -xv" returns nothing.
/var/fm/fmd/errlog is growing out of control, and "fmdump -e" is
spewing hundreds of messages per second, like:
Jul 08 11:17:04.3593 ereport.io.pciex.dl.btlp
Jul 08 11:17:05.0165 ereport.io.pci.fabric
Jul 08 11:17:04.3595 ereport.io.pciex.dl.rto
Jul 08 11:17:04.3595 ereport.io.pciex.rc.ce-msg
Fmdump doesn't give me much more to work with:
# fmdump ;fmdump -eVu 016cf20c-d572-42c1-f217-9eb8d439b73c
TIME UUID SUNW-MSG-ID
Jul 07 07:55:42.6832 016cf20c-d572-42c1-f217-9eb8d439b73c PCIEX-8000-KP
TIME CLASS
/var/adm/messages doesn't show any errors.
I had other issues w/ the MGA driver. It worked before the upgrade,
but not after. deleting the driver defaults to the vesa driver, which
works. I don't know if that's salient to this issue, but thought I'd
make sure to relay it.
Can anybody tell me what's wrong, how to fix it, or how I should
investigate further?
Thanks,
Chris
