    I've noticed that the order of messages is different today than it was when
    the system booted successfully in the past. I'm seeing:

    alt0: 1000 Mbps full duplex Link Up via autonegotiation

    At least several lines later in the process than it used to be. I'm
    wondering
    if there's some odd timing bug being hit, or if something else might be
    going
    wrong. In the past this line appeared a couple of lines after the drivers
    for
    the card loaded, before "Created FRU binary error log packet", now it is
    after
    "i2c Server management hardware present" - or farther down.

    Any thoughts? Does this maybe indicate something?

    --original question--

    I have a system that is hanging on boot - including genvmunix. It gets to
    just
    after initializing the network adapters (and i believe after initializing
    swap)
    and then just hangs. I've been working with phone support for a while and
    the
    best suggestion he can come up with is restore root and see if that fixes
    it. I'd
    like to avoid that as it is time consuming. Does anybody have any
    suggestions
    as to what the system might be attempting to do at this point and what files
    might
    be corrupt or otherwise causing problems? Unfortunately it's too early in
    the boot
    stage to actually find out.
