This is a "repost" of significant problem caused by an insignificant file. Scenario 6800 with two domains (though system type is really unimportant) reboot both domains First domain (A) hangs, second (C) starts OK. boot -sv show system hangs after CPU probes 18 hours later (lots of pissed users) had to restore by remove (D1000) disk from A insert disk into C restore / to disk put disk back into A system back boots but had to reconfigure VxVM Because it hung at the CPU probe the Sun Install/Boot types thought it had to do with some device or /etc/system. We eliminated all non-essential drives and /etc/system entries with no success. Here's the kicker: it was caused by setting variables using double quotes in /etc/default/init (i.e. LC_TYPE=3D"C"), which we did per a Sun support solution. Local SSE found the problem (long after we recovered /) The problem can be reproduced with ease. It takes actually setting a variable, just double quotes are not enough. We're amazed that a insignificant files (that has defaults anyway) could be allowed to cause such problems. I've gotten the impression Sun has know about this for some time.
