Solaris 10 failed to boot - Console login service cannot run

[underh20]

We just installed Solaris 10 at our Sun T5220 server and tried to boot
it up but to no avail. There are errors with the console login
service(s). Any idea how to resolve this issue. The following are the
screen print and the "svcs -vx" output.

Thanks, Bill

Some inforamtion may be in /var/adm/messages.
If nothing comes from /etc/svc/volatile/system-sysevent:default.log
try change in /lib/svc/method/svc-syseventd "/usr/lib/sysevent/
syseventd" with "/usr/lib/sysevent/syseventd -d" it will turn on
debugging.

The post you're responding to is nearly three years old. Hopefully the
ancient archive you're treating like a brand-new post also contains his
followup posts, where presumably he provided the logs that can be used to
diagnose the problem, which he DIDN'T provide in the (ancient) post that
you've now re-posted.

Also, I'd note that *you* didn't provide any useful diagnostic information
either. Like, for example, /etc/svc/volatile/system-sysevent:default.log.
