ALOM wont work when KVM connected to Sun Fire V440 server

Hi,

I was asked to connect a KVM screen to a Sun Fire V440 last night so I connected it up but no joy and nothing on the KVM screen. I was told that a reboot may fix the problem so connected to the ALOM and rebooted. On the plus side, the KVM screen now works but I lost the ALOM connection.

On the ALOM output (console -f) I can watch the server start to boot and then ithangs halfway through. The last ALOM messages I see before it freezes include one about probing IDE devices and then I get an error about USB device.

I saw another post on here for someone which had the same problem but it doesn't say how it was fixed.

Is there a way of getting the ALOM and KVM screen up and running together? At the moment it's either one or the other.

Thanks in advance
Jimmy
