The system loads fine no errors on the system during boot. when it tries to start it goes to hostname % it does not show the login screen for the users. any help on this would be great. is the X11 not starting properly?
You are able to connect via console/telnet ?
who -r # which runlevel
This is important to show us if the system starts the rc2.d scripts
/etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin # Is this script available? and startable?

yes ftp telnet works fine. DNS is working with the system as well. currently i am telnet into the system.
. run-level 3
yes that file is in there. It has perms of 744 with root:sys
wrong post
try this and reboot
dtconfig -e
This enables login !

And the /var/dt/Xerrors logfile!
giving it a shot if it does work what would cause the dtconfig to not launch properly.

fbconfig -prconf outputs the following
Not a Configurable device.
all the systems were loaded from the same image this is the only one not working?
i did a fbconfig -list on a working system th config program is SUNWnfb_config on the non working system it says not configurable. so i did a package info and the drivers are there for the video?
Yes the driver is for video.
There is no device /dev/fb So the system can not configure it!
You install the system from a image not step by step ?
maybe there is an other graphic interface installed as on the other boxes?
Br joerg
all of them have the same graphics card. prtdiag -v
all have the same drivers installed as well
all 4 clients have the same hardware and software.
yes the clients were created from a image and loaded via jumpstart.
You have a console server/switch which simulates the Monitor?
Some times I have the same problem with flash jumpstart and simulated Monitor hardware. My quick and dirty solution was to use a monitor during the installation!
nope just a monitor on the unit
ls -ltr /dev/fb
on the box with the problem and on one without a problem!
Is this device available at the other solaris boxes?
boot -r to ensure that the system knows this device!
At the OK prompt:
On both boxes:

sorry for the delay. the system was off line and they jsut brought it online.
ls -ltr on the bad systems shows the device at pci@1f,6000000
on two working systems it shows the device at pci@1f,700000
thanks for the help the ls -ltr /dev/fb showed me that it was pointing in the wrong devices file. so from a terminal i did reboot -- "-r" and this fixed the problem.
