Hello, I think you all deserve a clear information about what has been going =20= on today. After the update of all servers to P-6 - the server could not be =20 booted normaly - in fact they did boot but after that they didn't get =20= back with the prompt=85 So I ended up in a "dead end". As I was working last weeks with the engineers that helped me setup =20 the hardware (and as Intel didn't have a right guideline specifying =20 that TCP ports needed to be opened) - I have ended up mofidying a =20 little parameter in /boot/loader.conf that was aimed to redirect the =20 console to "vidconsole" & "comconsole". This little parameter seems to have caused a conflict with the KVM of =20= intel which probably uses the same redirect or blocked us from =20 receiving the output (even from ssh). It took me quite a long time to figure out what was going on as I =20 suspected other problems to have happened. This has all the symptoms =20 of a system freeze, but services were launched (at least some of them)=85 I have found the solution by booting using a low level prompt that has =20= allowed me to pass the parameter "set console=3Dcomconsole" and all went = =20 back to normal. Quite firghtening, but finaly armless.
