I installed anomie, a new SunBlade, and found that it hung or paused
several times when I tried to reboot it.
On the first occasion, it seemed to hang in AFS shutdown, during the
reboot following the (manual) update to 9.0.11 (it had installed at
9.0.10). The last thing displayed to the console was RxEvent...
After quite a while, I stopped it and it rebooted OK.
On two subsequent occasions, it paused at reboot, with nothing getting
displayed on the console, but with the disk churning away. After about
10 minutes, the machine finally shut down and then rebooted. Both of
these pauses followed my doing a mkserv.
I have since tried a few "simple" reboots, i.e. without having first
done an update or mkserv, and these all ran normally, with no delay.
